Do your penance there. Pass the training and in 6 months apply all over again to the larger regionals. It will take some time to get this under your belt. Every where you go you will have to explain this event so get comfortable explaining it.
The only thing that will help you out will be a proven record of passing check rides and that takes time. You have a smear on your record but it is a short detour not the end of your career. Most people will eventually have one check ride bust, DUI, arrest, or something on their record. Saints only apply to the Vatican.
Good Luck.
I agree. Try EVERY company out there. Colgan (land of this misfit pilots-I know, I was one of them), Mesa?, Just get your resume out there. Especially at the ones that fly the "smaller" planes. (BE-1900). These don't have autopilot, have steam gauges. Stuff you are used to. Work on the CRM there. SOMEONE is bound to call. Suck it up there. Get past the bust, and if you want, move on.
For future reference, it sounds like you are one of those that has to sit down with their sim partner, and WORK TOGETHER!!! Eat, drink, etc... together. It helps.
