In 2018 you could certainly have your pick of any regional should you have to go that route.
That said, if you check out
these charts you'll see that by then the Big 3 Legacies alone will be retiring 3-4 pilots
a day.
It's worth repeating that over the next 15 years the Big 3 Legacy Airlines (AA, DAL, UAL) will have 30,000 retirements. I don't believe that there is a single person in the industry, from the CEO's suite on down, that knows what that's going to mean for the industry.
Nothing you don't already know I'm sure, but a well connected military aviator, even non-current, could still find themselves in a really good spot when they finally separate in that environment. Translation: your Christmas card list just got a lot longer. Good luck.
For some better advice than mine though,
this is required reading.
