Anyhow, I was promptly hired by another commuter and a couple of years later, moved to another so I wouldn't have to commute. Now I have my dream job flying for the major I grew up wanting to fly for.
So my point is, the regionals should only be a stepping stone for you. Go get your time, and apply to the majors. Then you will look back on your rejection as just a blip on the radar. Just a slight stumble in your hopefully lengthy career.
Best of luck,

I applied for and really wanted to work for Compass almost 5 years ago. They turned me down and I just shrugged and moved on. Got hired by PSA during their first big hiring wave and I’ll hopefully flow to AA (my first pick of places to retire from) within the next couple years and I’ve enjoyed good quality of life for most of my time here. Things always work out, just wait and see.
