I concede this has been in times when majors/legacies were not actively hiring so their really had no option but go regional anyway.
There is zero requirement for most military to slog it out at a regional. I would bet there are hundreds of military pilots on this board alone who have been hired by a legacy without a single hour of pt 121 time. 2 years ago things were different, but now I've seen guys with just over the 1500 hour min get picked up.
To answer the title of your post, you leave the ship when it's sinking. In my view the USAF has went full Titanic, get out while you can!!!
