I would do as others have suggested and apply to some LCCs. Pay will be better. Work rules probably about the same or better at most LCC and better stability. That way if your time waiting for a call to the majors is longer than anticipated you aren't stuck working for a subcontractor. And you still get your 121 experience.

Go to a good LCC. Don't waste your time at a regional, you'll end up hating the industry. I know plenty of corporate guys who went to JetBlue, VX, Frontier, etc, and made the jump to a major from there without ever having to serve one day at a regional airline prison camp.

Idk. I'm here, a few months in and since they've hired like another 200 175 FOs and none have made it here. But, things change so fast it's hard to guess appropriately.
