With that point in mind, my advice is to focus on Flight Training and getting your certs at this point. Then turn your focus to time building. Also you are doing that, keep a close eye and observation of the industry and hiring environment and pay attention to the trends…. Troll APC, Jetcareers, Flying sub Reddit to try to keep a pulse on what is going on at your immediate step.
Nothing wrong with asking questions, however I think you will be better suited on focusing questions on flight training and paths of time building. Once you are about halfway to ATP minimums, then it will be time to start asking questions about the next intermediate step in your careers (Regionals/ULCC/ACMI) depending on where the hiring environment is at during that time.
I was new at one point as well. My plans and desires changed as I progressed in my career. My career flight plan I’ve developed when I was in your shoes and actual career flight path taken looks very different. I still ended up at my desired career carrier that I wanted when I started. However, during the grid of working up my career ladder desired carrier changed multiple times at things changed. That’s the beauty of this career…

Happiness stems from living in base, and nothing else even comes close.
