b) Find a regional with a junior base somewhere that you'd like to live. You'll move up fast as an FO. There should be several near Baltimore (PHL, IAD, so driving distance). Lots in NY, I'd take the train.
c) Do a regional and then apply to majors. That way your CTP/ATP is paid for. With fighter + 121 time you'll get scooped up pretty quick by a decent major. Any major should afford good scheduling opportunities, although if you can live in base that's even better. SWA has a BWI base.
d) Apply to majors now, but your recent experience is marginal, and you'd have to pay for your own CTP/ATP just to apply (I'm not aware of any majors providing that, at least not yet).
Nobody has a RNO base, but it's reasonably commutable to LAS, SLC, DEN, SEA, SFO, LAX.
Delta has some type of an in house ATP/CTP program, saw the signs on the office doors last month. Let’s them take military without funneling six months at their WO regional wasting training cycles.
