My goal in life would be to act as PIC for a regional carrier or airline.

A regional carrier is an airline. Regionals are to majors & nationals what minor leagues are to majors. Like it or not, regionals or 135 freight is the stepping stone to a major / national airline. You do not, however, want to retire from a regional. Not the way things are today or the way they'll probably be in 20 years.

Have you thought of going corporate? The bizjet guys have a thread around here that may be attractive to you. Trust me, even having 5000 hours PIC Turbine right now isn't going to get you anywhere.
