I've got the ATP, about 3400 TT, 1100 ME. I'm in the Milwaukee area. What are my best prospects? Moving/commuting is an option, but I'd prefer to stay near here for now if possible.

Thanks for any help you can give!

A variety of 135 freight operators should be willing to hire you, and many of them have turbine aircraft that you can get into after you have some seniority.

Almost any regionals would hire you, and obviously you would fly turbine aircrfat immediately.

With your time I would think you could network your way into some kind of right-seat citation gig or something along those lines also.
