I am just shy of the 1500 total time, but I am a current F-15 pilot with over 1000 PIC, and an ATP due to the FSDO approving my personal logbook with 0.2/sortie. From what all the airline prep folks are telling me, I just need to get over the 1500 minimum, and I should be competitive for the majors. So, I literally just want the fastest 100+ hours possible, in a situation my family can live with...but with the possibility of having to wait patiently if things don't happen as fast as we'd like. Thoughts?
I understand.. current militarily is very different than current 121 operator. Toil be competitive to the majors once you get a 121 type rating done and some time. You'll be even more competitive for a major if you have part 121 PIC time. I am not a military guy but work with many, and they still haven't been tapped by a major yet.
Make a plan to be at regional a while and hope for a quick transition.
