You seem to be pretty far disconnected from the industry and largly unwilling to do anything that would make yourself competitve which is why you aren't getting any phone calls. Just because you have 5000 hour does mean you should be able to walk into the front door of any airline and have them begging for your experience. Have you ever been through a 121 training program? Just FYI, It's the people not willing to learn something that tend to struggle the most.
inter-island flying is not regional flying. If it was regionals would be doing it.
5000 hours with 1400 multi will get you a 135 gig. Take it. Enjoy it.
If you want to fly inter-island for Hawaiian go pay for an atp ctp course and apply to Hawaiian. Maybe the Alaska purchase will get you enough time to enjoy it for a bit. But you are a bit late to the show. Inter island exclusively will be aloha cargo and moukele in a few years. You can apply there with your current certs
