There are a lot of variables...under normal circumstances, at any airline, it often takes continued persistance on the part of you and your inside connection to draw attention to your resume.

With the current demand for pilots I might wonder after 7 weeks too. Is there something unusual about your background? Are you very low or high-time, or do you have background problems? Do you meet the XJet competetive mins?

It used to be common to apply to ten regionals, interview at 2-3, and get hired by one, maybe two. I wouldn't worry if one company doesn't call...apply to some other ones. It is not typical in this industry for the pilot to chose his employer, it's usually the other way around...anyone who holds out for their "dream airline" will probably be disappointed.
