You'll have more than enough total time and experience to compete for a job at the regional airlines. You didn't mention multi-engine time, which is huge. Many airlines will like to see at least 100 hours of ME time.

Walkeraviator is correct in asking if you can afford to work for the regional airlines. Staying single and mobile is key to success. Many pilots enter the regional career and they are out within 5 years for good. Some as short as three months because they discover that the life style isn't for them or is too big of a leap from high society to hobo pies.

If you really want to do this, make sure you go into it with as little debt as possible. Ideally, no debt and a healthy bank account is the way to enter the career (ironic isn't it?). Good luck!
