With six- going on seven years of not touching an airplane, is there any realistic chance of being able to get back into the cockpit? I have signed up for an ATP-CTP course and have enough total time for an R-ATP license. I am 42 years old, but still feel young and am still able to learn.

As soon as you get your ATP any regional would hire you the next day. Then you could build a couple hundred hours while you update your apps to the majors. Fighter guy with a masters degree is the prototypical top tier candidate for the legacies.
