From where I sit the real question is how bad do you want a legacy job? The *safest* path to that is go to a regional, upgrade, and then get hired by a competing legacy (they are known to "meter" their own regional CA's so it would probably be faster to go to a competitor.

Legacies are also hiring from LCC's, but if it turns out that you need TPIC to get a legacy call it will probably take longer to upgrade at a LCC.

But since regionals seem to be backed up with FO hiring and training, a LCC might get you on line faster even if the upgrade is longer.
