Thanks for your time and help! I missed flying!!

Just a couple thoughts as someone who did what your referring to here...
A) I agree with the crowd, you're shooting a little high here...
B) if you do go the 121 regional route, let them pay for your ATP (I'm pretty sure they all have CTP/ATP programs) If you go any higher than regional though, yes you'll need to get it on your own.
C) I think any regional would hire you (although I think they've all slowed a little as they are short on the CA side, you'd likely be looking at late spring early summer class dates)
D) You'd certainly be able to get on with a 91/135, in NJ / SE PA they are hurting for pilots.
D) Good Luck to you!
