I want to wait it out until the Majors start hiring (hopefully soon?) but i think some 121 experience would be beneficial since none of my time is in a crew aircraft or carrying passengers.
I think the good old days of going right from the military to the majors is behind us, unless a massive hiring wave opens up soon which I don't think it will. I think going to a regional makes sense, I am probably going to do it (interviews this and next week). I personally think having the military time and some 121 background will be the winning ticket when the majors start hiring again. JMHO.
