I don't know who you heard that from but it's false. I interviewed with 10 people. Two of us were CFIs with just over 1,000 hours and zero turbine time. The other 8 had some form of turbine, corporate or 121 experience. The only two people in my interview class who were hired were me and the other CFI.
They don't care about your background. They care about whether you seem like a fun person to fly with, and whether you're trainable IE. you prepared well for the interview.

You may want to consider that the reason you're not getting interviews or not getting past them may be due to attitude. You keep saying that Skywest has some problem with CFIs and you can't figure out why they won't give you an interview. You also said that you were treated with a lot of disrespect at the Republic interview before being denied the job. From the people I know at both airlines those things are both very far from the truth. In order to see that side of an interviewer you would have to rub them the wrong way somehow.
