If you're hell bent on shooting for a non regional, which I don't understand why you would be, Breeze would be the best target IMO
Breeze had nearly 4000 US applicants for 80 pilot jobs, probably not all were competitive but I’d say a majority were. I don’t think you’ll see any ULCC doing E3 for some time yet, if ever. Hopefully a couple regionals may start hiring again later in the year but who knows. There are still a lot of unemployed citizen pilots there and a 4th wave of COVID is still on the horizon in the US from everything I’ve read lately.
