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.
What? The mil guys in class with his resume dont make it through sims before they have the next job offer. Ive seen a couple mil guys stay for more than a year but that's either because they're retired mil and will move at whatever pace they please, or they are completely intolerable to sit with for 30 seconds, and i think even that guy left a year ago.
