Any helpful advice would be appreciated!
Cheers,

I have a similar background and went through this process this year.
From the time I hit submit on airlineapps it was about 12 hours after I got the call for an interview invite. Dates to interview were wide open - mine was about a week later. After the interview, the closest class date was 2 weeks out. I delayed 3 months without issue.
I would say if you have previous 121 and military C-12 time totaling at least 1000 hours turbine fixed wing, and you retire current in a turbine FW, I'd start aiming for a major first about 6-12 months from retirement. If you don't get a call, you can always pivot to a regional at the last minute.
