If camaraderie is of high importance to you, consider a ULCC which has a base you're willing to move to. Small (compared to majors) pilot group, frequently flying with the same crews, and the opportunity to live in same community and socialize if you choose, like a "regular" job. Some fly daily out-and-back schedules which bring you home (back to base) every night. Not as financially rewarding over a long career, but for many people that's not as important as QoL, which we all define differently.
