I've spent dozens of hours reading 1000s of posts trying to get a feel for which regional airline to potentially apply to.
I live an hour away from ATL. I've gathered from my reading that commuting sucks and would like to avoid that but...

A little about me:
I'm age 58, have 8700 hours of mostly piston twins and singles. Most of it is PIC
got 110 turboprop, never been in the cockpit of a jet. I have over 5000 hours of part 135 time but none of it qualifies for the SIC requirement for 121. ie, I'll have to have 1000 hours SIC before I can upgrade to captain.
I've got lots of actual IFR, night time and PIC but it's all ancient history as I've been in an administrative type job for the last 20 years. I've recently resigned and am now seeking a line pilot job.

What I need: Pay, retirement program, insurance and QOL. I have rental properties we refurbish and maintain so the more time home the better so I can continue to build that.

Due to my age, "flow" is not a factor. So what I'm looking for is to get my 1000 hours SIC, move to the left seat and build up some jet PIC. This will better position me for options in the corporate or 135 world after I reach age 65. Since I'm realistic I'll never reach the majors, I need to pick the best regional for the next 6 years.
Additional info: Hold single and multi engine ATP, all the flight and ground instructor ratings for airplanes.

Any insight would be helpful
