They will still be hiring, but I'd get started sooner if you're going to. Peak hiring at the majors will likely arrive in 4-5 years, so you'd want to have a couple years and 1000 hours under your belt at a regional prior to that.
Seniority is everything, if you're going to do it, get on with it. It would be better to get hired at a major and then have a big wave of folks hired AFTER you...
What is your current position and what was your career path? For me being in Philly, my best route appears to be Piedmont to AA. Does QOL/nights out of town change at all given that I would be living in base? Thanks!
