That is a very relative term.
According to some airlines not too long ago (and maybe now for that matter) you were more then worthy of being a co-pilot on a 70+ seat regional jet and would have hired you with those times.
A part 135 company won't touch you but they have FARs restrict the minimum experience.
You'll have some people on here crucify you if you say you don't want to CFI. Do you want to CFI? If not why are you getting it? By all means please don't become an instructor if you don't want to instruct. Your future students will thank you.
My advice (because I know you give a rat's___) enjoy the ride. I hold the opinion that if you go from the training enviornment right into the right seat at a regional you missed the best part of aviation. I find it sad that guys on here have never taken any time away from training or Part 121 PAX flying. It's no mystery why these are the same guys that are the most disgruntled in 5 years when the shine wears off and that RJ job they couldn't wait to get to is in fact just a job.
Have fun and enjoy the ride. Don't bite at the first place that will take you. Find the place YOU want to go to and do what it takes to get there.
