Depends on your total time, etc. But if I were you I’d be putting out apps as soon as you have 500 hrs of 121 time.
I hadn't known anyone who went from fixed wing military to a regional, except those coming off a non flying tour to retirement. A majority of military fixed wing pay for their own ATP and head to a major at the 11 year mark. The pay cut from from an 11 year mil pilot to regional FO is too drastic. Those without a strong enough record to get hired stay in or leave aviation altogether.
