Keep trying. In my own experience it doesn't seem like Skywest looks down upon CFIs like other regionals do. My new hire class had 12 CFIs all with no turbine time and all 12 of us passed everything first try. A lot of the captains I fly with say they were CFIs before being hired by Skywest.
They care a lot more about who you are and how you conduct yourself in the interview and how well you prepare for the interview.
