I know a few guys who've done that that live in the regionals base.

 

No, they do not.
LCA’s bid with the regular Captains.

 

No. But reserve LCA are given flying “dropped for instruction” from other pilots. Those pilots are pay protected. Age 67 is a stretch.

 

No captain will ever be awarded Phx ever again. No. The ejet is not coming to phx. No one really wants any United regional flying in phx.

 

This would be easy. You will be junior to literally everyone. Reserve will be years. We have captains in reserve there who have been here 5 plus years so you can add on to that.

 

As a DEC you will be on reserve forever. And I mean that literally.

 

Hello,

I have recently submitted my application for FO, but recently got an email stating "unable to provide you with the offer for employment at this time". I was wondering if you suppose it's possible it would have to be due to FO overstaffing at this time. I am actually eligible for DEC since I have logged over 2600 hours in 121 time as an FO through Expressjet and recently Republic Airways. I suppose I could give that a try. Just afraid of encountering any 121 failures at the moment.

 

Have you ever been a captain before?

It's a lot easier to be a direct-entry captain if you have experience as captain. If you've never been a captain, it's less easy to go to a different company and enter as a captain in a system and culture where you've never served. This is especially true ifs a different aircraft, but also true if you have experience in type.

 

At Expressjet, on my second year I did put in for the Captain upgrade bid and it was rewarded on my third year. Unfortunately it got taken away as a result of the pandemic. So I came to Republic Airways as an FO on ERJ-170/175. I spent one year there. Unfortunately things didn't work out as i'd hope, which i'll only discard privately. But nope, no PIC under 121 time. And 90% of all the Regionals seem to be completely over staffed with FO's at the moment and completely short on CAs.

 

Recently you were asked to resign following a training failure as F/O; it was not a minor event. Presently you're reporting numerous rejections from various companies. You've never been a captain, and having just been rejected as an F/O applicant by Mesa, you're asking if you should reapply to be a captain?

Your recent descriptions of your situation reveal numerous deficiencies in basic airmanship; very large, glaring ones, as well as a clear failure to prepare for the training event that cost your job . You've indicated a strong sense of denial, have made light of the events and refused to own them, but instead of tried to explain them away or deflect or even project onto others. Your approach to the job, your attitude, and your elementary root flying skills are what you need to confront first, before you press on. You've showed a consistent willingness to blame others for your failures, and have minimized what are large, glaring errors that cost you your job. This is your landscape: put your house in order, figure yourself out first, before you go any further. With the most recent event, you were dismissed by unanimous decision of the training review board, and even your union representatives' response was to try to find a place that would take you. The union did not try to support you. That all those around you see this and you don't, should be telling you something, and it isn't. That you'd be rejected for an FO application and in any way, consider reapplying as a captain shows a massive lapse judgement. STOP.

Your airmanship needs work. Your aeronautical decision making is questionable. You're not taking your job seriously, else you'd have taken the months that you had to prepare for this last training event and got ready, instead of showing up rusty, unprepared, and failing to exercise the most basic elements of airmanship. Seek training. Get evaluated and accept the evaluation and the training recommendations that are given. You're not able to see the problems for yourself, but you had better be willing to let someone show you, and to pay them to do it, or you're looking at a very short career. You need clear direction on what you're doing wrong, and you need to humble up and listen, and learn. In no way should you be this far into your flying and still be making such elemental errors in judgement, operation, and airmanship.

You need to seek interview counseling. You need to get evaluated by an interview professional who can break down in detail where you've been and how to not go there again. Whatever this costs, pay it. Don't scrimp.

Now, you did say you'll only discuss your training failure privately, but you've already spelled it out on this site and presently it's carrying across multiple forums as you're applying multiple places, and commenting on it (like here).

What you have going on, is fixable, but your comments so far do not suggest you're interested in fixing, but rather denying. Until you get past that, further progress isn't possible.
