I was at 1900 tt, 1260 army helo and 500 fw (80 glider, 400 sel, and 37 multi) when I started at Mesa. Now at 2400 total, 1260helo/1100fw (of which 600 is CRJ). No love from any major, including JB/allegiant. UAL/DAL require 1000 fw turbine for mins for reference and you won't make it thru the computer system without it. I haven't been to any job fairs but will start.
If you can go to Vets in Blue that seems to help a lot with JB. A regional wouldn't be bad for you to add fw jet time and check the 121 box on the app. But you need fw turbine time (500 for JB, 1000 for UAL/DAL).
