What should I be charging for non regional computer repair work?

Can I become a Captain for a regional airline?
Q. Im only 26 years old and im from the Bahamas. I am planning on moving to the U.S. to become an airline pilot. I recognized that there are no major airlines hiring so I decided I'll fly with a regional first. I flied for the Bahamas Defense Force for 4 years and I have over 9000 hours. It was just flying non-stop. Would this allow me to skip the first officer position and go straight to Captain on a regional.
