How about we stop being stupid and just give him some advise. If he has the education required by the majors and I am assuming he is in the right seat of a CRJ, I would try to find a job that would get some TPIC. At 28 I wouldn't leave for overseas just yet as with all the hiring to be done soon here I don't think he needs. Would be applying to the majors now as not just Capt's will be getting the nod. Name of the game is make your resume look good. Don't forget the community service stuff .
