Thank you. SIC it is. That works for me.
Follow up question. Let's say I continue to build my time up to 4000-5000 hrs here in Asia (no TPIC since I don't see myself getting upgraded to the left anytime soon), would it be worth paying for an ATP-CTP so I can try applying for a major or are the chances still slim and is it better to go to a regional first and let them pay for it? How long are contracts with regional airlines?
Find a regional where you could see yourself working 1-2 years.
Find a state with no income tax

Alternatively try one of the ACMI’s
Atlas, Kalitta, World Global ( or whatever their name is)
Charter flying with Miami Air, Swift or Sun Country on 737
