Why sell back leave? You can start your new job on terminal. You get allowances on terminal, but not if you sell it back.
Re. regionals, that depends on how current you are, and how you think you stack up for the majors. I assume you have multiple LORs on file at various majors? Your resume is only half the battle, your connections are the other half.
If you can honestly assess that you stack up well, I think there will be hiring before the end of the year. But if you end up sitting around for 6 months with no calls, and only then try the regionals...well, you might as well have gone regional early.
