I can get the ATP through a shortened type rating course if need be, which isn't a problem.

In any case, do guys have any recommendations of any regionals to go for around the east coast and would my experience be valuable to any airline? (obviously ill take what I can get at the end of the day but always nice to have some insight)

Cheers!
