Get your sims done, youll be at mainline within a month.
Don't bank on being gone "within a month". With 5 years away from the seat, the legacies will not likely pull your app for score & interview invite until you have 100 hours within past 12 months (SWA is the only one that may still accept a 5 year break in flying).
If you don't have your ATP, consider going to Delta's ATP-CTP program (especially if that's your main target) before going to the regional. Almost ends up being a pre-interview and helps get your app scored once you get the recurrent time.
On a side note, use the getting recurrent time to get your apps and resume squared away (a.k.a. use a review service).
For reference, I had a post-retirement 8 year break, went to regional (9E) and the month after I hit 100 hours, I got interview calls from most of my target airlines. Because I wanted a specific legacy, I waited longer than I could have and ended up spending 13 months at the regional.
Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions.
