My guess is that you don't even if airlines count Osprey time, which I'm not sure they do. Some airlines have formulas to grant partial credit for RW time, V-22 may fall under that. I don't think you're even in the ballpark for major airlines, so you'll want to research hiring mins for regionals. Each airline will have a different policy for RW time.
Airlines view Harrier time as FW because harriers can and do land like airplanes. MV-22 may fly like an airplane but it lands like something else entirely.
As someone mentioned, emerald coast could probably give good advice.
Emerald Coast was a must on my to do list!
I have no issues what so ever going to work for a regional. That is really what all my questions are geared for. Do i have the mins or am i close with my mins (given the osprey time) to get my foot in the door with a regional.
Its a bummer more people don't understand the osprey and how it operates.
