Did you look at the cargo operators? Many pay ~$80/hr to start and some have quick upgrades. Although QOL at some are poor if you get stuck at least the wage is livable and you are flying bigger jets. Some have home basing. It’s not a walk in the park but then again neither is a regional but the money side will be easier to live on. Good luck ( from a former part 91 Capt to regional to LCC to UAL guy).
