Ok Mr. Moderator, you hame mentioned most of the regionals hiring. If they didn't have a problem filling classes then why is it that RAH can't staff over 50% of the Q400 they were awarded a year ago. Someone is paying leases on these airplanes while they sit in the desert.

Perhaps there has been a reduction in pilot supply HR does not get and they still think they can skim off the rock stars.
You have attended a number, meaning you have attended various of interviews but you are not being offered a job. Sorry pal but there is something wrong with you or you have so much time that they don't think you will be there long enough for ROI. You mentioned that you can be trained to fly these airplanes safely and I am not sure if you are implying that your flying has some areas that require work before you can attend 121 training.
