But for now ... the regionals have waaaaaay more applicants than spots. IDK what they're looking for. They may not know what they're looking for. But it's definitely not wet ATP's.

And are you overthinking things? Yes. Your initial post was about 8x longer than it needed to be and comes across kinda neurotic. That is blunt but meant to be clear and helpful feedback, not dumping on you.

Thanks for the advice. I'm being sent to get typed in a new airframe next month. That's going to give me the opportunity to get way more hours and I'm really looking forward to it. It's an airframe that NetJets and FlexJet use. After I get some time-in-type built, it could open the door for them or various other corporate jobs, if the regionals are still gridlocked.


As for your last remark, I'm not a neurotic person. I'm not brittle, anxious and losing sleep over this. I stated in the OP that I knew the compression was bad. I was still under the impression I at least should have heard something. FTR, I worked in another highly competitive industry before aviation and they would nit-pick applications over the dumbest little things to narrow down their applicant pool. It was extremely hard to get hired and I'm used to dealing with people of that mindset. I'm not familiar with the 121 world and if they practice the same hiring ways or not, hence why I was wondering if the flight school situation was that disqualifying X-factor. Now that I've read all of these replies, I'm understanding the depth of this situation is far worse than I thought. I'm no longer surprised that no one has contacted me yet. I'm going to keep on keeping on, in the meantime.
