Your goals are much too narrow. Very few people who have their sights set on a particular airline actually end up working there (unless they have a close relative in senior management). I for example work for the last airline I ever thought I would end up at.
Your goal should be "top tier" majors, passenger or cargo (DL, UA, AA, SWA, FDX, UPS).
Your fallback should be "second tier" passenger majors. And maybe some contract cargo companies or fractionals, although their long-term viability is hard to predict.
Plan C could be regional airlines.
As to how you you get there, also keep an open mind. Military has historically been the most economical to the pilot but you do need to have an interest and enthusiasm for service. I will caution you... young people who are not "military material" typically won't get very far in civilian aviation. There's a lot of overlap on those two Venn diagrams.
