Default Chances of getting into a regional this year?

In short I am being optomistic about getting into a regional by years end. I am at 600TT 60ME. I am doing my MEI check ride this upcoming week. I work at a large 141 flight school teaching international chinese students, I get decent flight time. With all this hiring that is going on now, I just want to get into the airlines as soon as I can. Reason being my ultimate goal in this this industry is to retire as a wide body international captain. (preferably on the 777 ) What do you guys think ?

If you get the MEI and get 400 hours ME, you might have a shot by year end. You'll probably need at least 1000 TT, and the more ME the better.
