Default Fork in the road

So here is my situation, I am 11.5 years into my Air Force career and a reservist at this point and an enlisted flyer for a C-5 squadron. I am just finishing up my Bachelor's degree and also hold a CPL ASEL and CFI-A ratings. I have been planning on building time and going the regional airline route but my squadron pilot section has been encouraging me to submit a package even though I will need an ETP for my age (currently 33). I am trying to decide what the best strategy is for my long game since my end goal would be to eventually make it to a legacy mainline job. Would it be better to continue on as a CFI and most likely start at a regional by the beginning of next year or go military route and spend 2.5 years in training but also building turbine time?
