Let's work under the assumption that most airlines that are hiring don't hold an interview once every two years.
Back to the original question: can you not ask your CP for help? If you're in the regionals, then your CP should know that most of their pilots are trying to get out. This is assuming that you've tried to drop, have had the trip posted for trade, have groveled to CS, etc.
