Might need to go and get some time elsewhere until they start hiring. Something like Ameriflight where you can get multiengine turbine PIC.
It wasn't that long ago when you couldn't get hired at a regional at bare minimums, and we are back there again. I know plenty of pilots that were not hired at regionals because they didnt have enough multi time. I had about 750 multi turbine when I got my first regional airline job.
Passenger 121 airlines should never really be a starting job for pilots. In the past, it was flying checks, cargo, and small charter outfits that were used to build time before an airline would hire you. Going straight from CFI to Regional is a new occurance, and hopefully one that will never happen again.

I remember a thread just a few months back discussing this issue.
Are FO's still getting hired?
oh, wait...
No, you just have not found one willing to hire you. My own snide remarks aside here, it's time to do some self-reflecting, research, résumé/prep company work, etc.
Wait it out or look elsewhere. Check out other part 135 companies like Ameriflight (which I believe has already been suggested).

Piedmont, Envoy, Skywest, and Republic are hiring outside of Cadet Programs. I have no turbine time, 25 multi, and have CJOs from Piedmont and Envoy. I have no degree and a check ride failure. Just keep updating your hours. My apps have sat at some places for nearly 6 months before being called. It might not be your first choice, but WheelsUp is hiring. They will sponsor ATP/CTP too.
