Sheppard Air Airline Prep, ATP Test Prep, Read the entire Far/Aim, Instrument Flying Handbook, Instrument Commercial Manual by Jep, Everything Explained by the Professional Pilot, How to Land a Top Paying Airline Job? Ill have a little over a month I want to make it count.

Thanks for the suggestions!
Everything Explained by Rengel (?), ASA Pilot's Turbine Manual, Sheppard Air ATP prep (recommended)

Then you go through everything with questions like "Can you take off?" "What are the minimums required for this approach?" "Approach talks to you before the FAF and says weather is below minimums, can you continue?" "So your last clearance was "Hold at ABC VOR as published, EFC XXXX" and you lose comms, what do you do?"

Some other things we helicopter pilots probably don't know: holding speeds, airspeed limits and associated altitudes, oxygen requirements. If you're EMS and doing lots of NVG flying consider that runway lights aren't all green and you might want to know the colors and arrangements of approach lighting. Maybe holding entries if you are rusty on IFR.

If you want perspectives of helicopter pilots applying at regionals, you can check out Rotary to Airline Group. There isn't much in the Republic section but SkyWest has some detailed interview gouges and their interview seems rather in depth. https://rotarytoairlinegroup.org/forum/
I missed this post! Good info, Yes, last 8 years EMS. All those are good things to study. As far as I know I'm not going for RTP.... I have a commercial MEL, and almost meet all the minimums for the rest of it minus some PIC Stuck wing time, I'll check out that site. Thank you!
