Sorry for the sarcastic response, but from two ex-pilot friends of mine for the majors who were non-military, I believe you are SOL.

If you truly desire to become a pilot for the majors, get your various certifications and try and become a charter pilot to get your hours up. But be honest, by the time you get your hours up, the next wave of military pilots will be avaliable to the airlines and you won't look that impressive next to them.
I'm not saying it can not be done, but my next door neighbor is convinced that he can pitch for a major league team............
