Looks like the timing is just right for someone like you. You should have no problems getting picked up by a regional if you have basic IFR currency. Since you have heavy time you can also consider Atlas, Southern Air etc. Don't limit yourself to the regionals unless you are looking for the "flow."

I see that the flow is 3/month when AA is hiring. Forgive me if I missed this, but is that number a minimum?? If it's only 3/month, my basic math tells me that's about 8-10 years before someone today would flow. (Many variables left out for the "basic math").
I currently have a pretty great gig, but have very little TPIC and would ultimately like to land at a legacy/fedex.
Hmmmm.
