Built hours at CAU, worked at regional airlines to gain more experience, and hired as Assistant Chief Pilot Job at CAU San Diego. I gave cargo a shot (DHL and Amazon) and enjoyed it but ultimately interviewed with the big three major airlines (Delta, American and United) and was hired by Delta Air Lines.
