But unless you are really well connected, majors will probably not consider you competitive...cheyenne flying is really more GA than anything else.

If you combined that with some regional SIC, it might work...the cheyenne TPIC to meet the technical requirement, the RJ time to show that you can do airline operations.
Everything counts, some more than others. Cheyenne time is certainly more valuable than Seminole time. Get it while you can. Keep your eyes open for sound opportunities in larger airplanes. When they really needed pilots, the airlines hired people with nothing more serious than Apache time.
