Jet equipment, Glass/FMS systems are big with many airlines in which your problem will be flying multi turbine/turboprop equipment and no advanced avionics. The competition is flying various types of jet equipment. These are the reasons why military, regionals, and business/charter jet pilots look so good. I have seen many pilots who had the above experience but were not current and were hired anyway.
