I was in your shoes once upon a time. The first time I tried to get out of the Navy, I had 1200 hours in H-46s and 400 in C-12s. When I couldn't even get an interview, I went back, applied for TAR and got into VR that way. Took another tour and a half until I had enough CV-580/C-9 time to get hired. That might be an option.

As others have told you, T-34 time might not get you where you want to go and you certainly could end up as the Harbor Control Officer in Haiti.

Have you considered the regionals? Figure out who has the quickest upgrade, take the short term financial hit, get your time and move on. One of my squadron mates went from helos to a 135 multiengine freight hauler (like Ameriflight) got his multi turboprop hours. He's at AA now.
