After seeing the way they do things at Republic, let let 11 people in the door and offer 1 a job, I don't think I can invest much money travelling around the country on my own dime for regional jobs I'm just not competitive for. I only have a fresh ATP and no 121 time.
I got hired by Skywest with just barely over the minimums at the time, no 121 experience, and no internal recs. My entire new hire class of 12 were all CFIs with no turbine time. I doubt Skywest is turning down perfectly good applicants because they have no 121 time. There has to be something else they're seeing that they don't like.
