2300 TT A320 Type 1100 Multi Turbine
ALL PART 91 so far. Who would this be marketable to in the airline world? I understand I have zero 121 time. I really would prefer to avoid the regionals. What would you recommend? Thanks for you time.

Regionals yes. ULCC maybe.
Big-six, second tier majors, not likely. 2300 TT is very low unless it's in a fighter.
Type with no time adds little value (unless it's a 737 type and you're applying to SWA).
As a 91 guy, you're going to need 6k-8k and a few types to be in the ballpark. If you want to do airlines, go to a regional and rack up some fast 121 TPIC.

The MEL time is King Air, Beech 99, Twin Otter and Cheyenne III? With no 121 time?
Realistically it’s low odds to get on with one of the Big3(4?) airlines. The typically civilian OTS has 5500+, 3000+ PIC, several type ratings, and 121 experience.
Regionals would take you in a heartbeat. Three or four years at a regional would be a much stronger resume.
Everyone would love to skip the regionals. Few can. It’s the primary supply chain to the majors. It is what it is.
ACMI might be another avenue. Or Allegiant.
How do the various choices fit in with the family plans? What’s the long term goals?
By all means apply to everyone you’re interested in. Let them decide if you are qualified.

Realistically the OP will have to put in at least a year at a regional before getting on with a LCC or legacy. The good news is 1st year regional pay is 3X what it used to be a few years ago.
