Same boat, put your apps in ASAP. The amount of time they are in the system matters. Especially airlines with application windows. They want to see you have applied in the last X number of windows. It took me exactly one year to the day at a regional before I got hired at a legacy. It just takes time. last fall, I happen to run into a chief pilot in the airport that I had flown with in my previous mil life. First question he asked "have you applied?" Then he went up to his office, pulled my app, and put me on the list to get an interview. Now I'm just burning time at OO waiting on a training date enjoying the 175. Use whatever regional for their training to get a 121 training event under your belt and a few line hours. Helps a lot in your interview to tell them you are military trained with part 121 time. Checks two boxes.
