Since Chief Pilot M&Gs seem to have been devalued, I would supplement with job fairs.
Sorry to burst your bubble and not to discredit your experience.....but.....you competition is guys that have 2000 hours in fighters with several combat tours and 4000 PIC turbine as RJ Captains.
5000 hours is a lot, but the competition is wicked right now. Welcome if you got hired, good luck if you are on the way to an interview
