You do have the option to apply and mainline has the option to hire you. You are not entitled and do not deserve to automatically fly for mainline just because you fly at an affiliated regional.
The regional pilot group, as a whole, is too risky, with too many "bad eggs" to even consider mainline hiring every one without some type of formal interview and screening.
