I'm 45 and have been flying privately for a while. Veteran, don't know if that matters to HR. Have been working in oil and gas and been lucky to survive the layoffs though the years, and have saved some money so financing retirement is not a huge concern. I'm ready to get flying for a living.

Question is, what things do i need to do to position myself to get hired by a good regional?

I don't have much time, ~900 hours and i'm currently working on my Instrument. Plan to roll right into commercial and ME at the end of the summer. What would you guys suggest for getting from that 1000 or-so hours to hire-able at a good regional?
