Get that 121 experience and build your TT for a year then it’s a walk in the park to get to a Major.
But I wouldn't wait six months for a regional class date if a ULCC will bring you on next Monday.
Regionals historically have adapted their training programs to piston pilots with no airline or turbine experience.
ULCC historically were not as accommodating of low experience but that appears to be changing as they also hire R-ATPs. Do your research for specifics.
