But it's OK to keep future class dates at other airlines while in training, that's actually prudent in case something doesn't work out. Cancel those with reasonable lead as well when you get to that point.

Disagree with keeping class dates you aren’t going to use at the regional. Opens too many cans worms that don’t need to open up. If something doesn’t work out, then go with Plan B.

your point is reasonable months out but waiting til the week before might get you burned
I didn't think there was any way one regional would know you had a CJO/date with another (possibly AA WO?). But I guess something like that could happen, rarely. Guess you could find who and where they do their training.

CTP is the choke point. Mostly outsourced to a small number of providers.

You're not gonna know where the company will send you until maybe a week out from the ATP-CTP course, as it's outsourced to a third party (i.e. L3, ATP, CAE, etc). If two companies end up using the same third party for your ATP training then it'll definitely be an issue.

1200 hours of mil fixed wing, mostly multi-engine turbine time, CTP complete... zero recency that counts... uncompetitive? Does having the CTP complete open up any options?

So 1200TT ... nothing else? All military and you meet R-ATP mins but not full ATP? Zero recency like you retired from the F-4? What are we talking about here?

No, zero recency in manned aircraft. Last 18 years were unmanned. 3700 hours, IP, evaluator, lead pilot, squadron commander... I sent an IM with more info.

Default Mesa requires no recency

If you are not current flying for past 10 years but have over 1500tt and current on a 172 is that currency good for Mesa

you need to be current on something. Nobody is going to hire you if you haven't flown in 18 years. You are just too much of a liability.
