Sooo... you have military PIC turbine time and a masters? If anything go to a regional with low reserve times, prove you can pass a 121 program and get your ATP, and enjoy getting picked up at mainline. That’s what a buddy of mine did but he had actual jet time flying harriers. Was at a regional for maybe 7 months when he got hired at a major... but there’s a VERY good chance you’d be hired at a mainline carrier to start with.

Id ask around in those forums of what the odds are and how competitive your times are since you have the hours and military training. American tries to take as many military guys as they can get.
