Order of preference for regional airline hiring boards:
1. Total Time.
2. Total Time.
3. Total Time.
4. Multi Time.
5. 121 Time(or RJ sim training)
6. Pt135 Time
7. Turbine Time
8. IFR Time.
9. CFI Time.
10. College Time.
11. Good Personality, just say yes to everything.(optional at the regionals)
Only get the CFI if you want to instruct, most who know they want to fly 121 get it to build time but it looks like that's not your problem though. Best of luck.
