So you interview, get hired, and placed in the pool. You continue with your life by continuing to work at your current regional or CFI etc and if it does not pan out in the pool, nothing lost.
It is a good idea if you are at a questionable regional (mesa, XJet) so swim in another pool so if your airline were to furlough you are already in a pool when the swarm of unemployed pilots hit the market.
