1.) Yes, you probably need your head examined.

2.) Being out of currency with your Comair background won't make one whit of difference to a regional hiring dept. They are all too aware of what happened to Comair and will understand.

3.) As always with a regional, choose one that suits you and your family's needs in terms of domiciles, schedules, reserve time and general QOL. All regionals suck at some level (some at more than one level) and you well know from your time at Comair that today's golden child is tomorrow's pariah. I guarantee you that after Comair, you will be shocked at how bad it is out there (or how good we had it at Comair)!

Good Luck.
