Dude you’ve got at least 8-10 years before you’ll even have the option. There is no telling what the airline landscape will look like then.

Shoot for what you want, the rest will fall into place. That said you couldn’t pay me to go to the P-3/P-8 community. I’d ask why not tailhook, but there are plenty of guys that don’t need to be convinced of that. Take what your IPs say with a grain of salt, there’s a lot of TACAIR hate in the VTs. Great IPs but don’t let them bias your choices. If I could go back and be a JO in a VFA squadron again I would in a second. There’s no better flying you’ll ever get to do then day case 1 around the boat.

No platform is going to make you anymore or less competitive for the airlines if it’s fixed wing. Far and away the majority of airline guys I fly with that were Navy/Marines, were pointy nose.
