I'd look around!!
Go ahead and look around. You have that right. Just don't be suprised if the amount of RJ's flying around is continuously reduced in the coming years, which means they won't be hiring for a very long time. Lakes may be the only job available for a while, and if that happens you may need 2000 (or more) hours to get an interview there.

"Between now and 2017, there will be over 800 fewer of these RJs in the US skies. That is based on The Boyd Group's 2008 - 2017 Global Fleet Demand & Trend Forecast. This figure may now be conservative with jet-A heading over $3 a gallon."
FYI, Jet-A is closer to $4 a gallon now.
