SkyWest did have a fairly large hiring pool for a while because they had hired a bunch of pilots then stopped running classes for a few years. Now that new hire classes are back in full swing there isn't much of a pool.

In your case there isn't much you can do, except just keep updating both as best as you can. Not sure which one they use for inviting people to interviews but during the interview they reference your AirlineApps application. Right now they seem to be weighing heavily on internal recommendations, so network and try and contact anyone you may know there.
Thanks for the clarification. I've got 1700+ hours TT, with a CL-65 type and SF340 SIC type and 121 experience with American Eagle (had to leave because of a family medical issue), so I'm scratching my head as to what it takes to get an interview. I haven't gotten a "no thank you" letter yet, so maybe it's the lack of an internal rec as you mentioned.
