SWA is pretty good about interviewing people with 2000 Turbine PIC, you probably wouldn't need to to the regional thing...of course they only hire a fraction of those they interview
If you can't hired right out of 135, other airlines are likely to want to see some 121/jet/glass time, but like you said some regional SIC should punch that ticket.
This plan might work if major airline hiring opens up in a big way, but right now you really need to know someone. You are better off with bare minimum qualifications and an inside connection.
