I'm in a similar situation...A-10 guard guy with the following:

Got my ATP
I've had apps in at the Major's for about 6 mo. Currently a full-time tech, but considering heading off to the regionals to get the 121 time and the experience. However, with a family and 2-kids we're struggling with the big pay cut (they just upped the GS pilot pay and got the tech bonus). We're frugal, so we'd do it in a heartbeat if I was convinced it would get me to the majors faster.
Thoughts?
If you’ve got x00 hours in the last 12 months that they’re looking for currency, start networking harder. Get to those job fairs and have your buds submit internal recs. Have your app/resume reviewed by the consultants first.
If you’ve got to go to a starter 121 gig go to a LCC over a regional if you can since pay is better. Consider ACMI for the pay and positive space to work. If you’re left going to a regional go to on you can drive to.
