I disagree. I would think that if you're trying to get on with a "good" regional, then previous airline flying would be best on your reusme. That is certainly true where I am, as of the new hires, CFIs are probably the least well-regarded. Plus I'd say the guys with previous 121 time tend to become the natural leaders of the new hire group.
