By the time I get my ATP written complete, it's going to be months before I even get a chance to interview there with the current scheduling timeframes.

I reached out to the Propel team explaining the issues and conflict of interest going to the regionals. They expect us to get to a regional to start our countdown to get to Delta, yet, no one is interested in us unless we sign a 4-5 year contract. SkyWest will reject your application the second they send the survey asking if you are in Propel. Endeavor rejected my application just like many others, but being in Propel likely did not help my case. I also applied to the wheels up through Propel but they suspended hiring shortly after. They basically told me good luck and that they allow Propel pilots to fly for any 121 carrier now. I've had my applications out to every single 121 carrier for over 6 months. They need to let us go to a 135 operation or something to allow us to progress as pilots. I am being pulled one way by Propel to go to the airlines, but being shoved away by the regionals because I'm a terrible investment. I have no idea what to do. Propel told me in the email that they've been seeing Propel CFI's signing the Republic contract.
