If I were you I would beg and plead with the people that screwed you over and ask them to help you find another gig. It is a small world and everybody has friends. If you don't mind my asking what kind of experience do you have or what type ratings do you have? I tried to do the charter thing concurrently with the 121 gig and it was a nightmare in retrospect. I like the structure of 121 flying and the ability to build decent time to move on in the future. Flying 20 hours a month in a citation is fun and you see nice places but you aren't going anywhere fast.
The rehire process supposedly was changed with the new FOM. Of course the friends in high places policy always helps.
