I don't know what qualifies as low-time vs high-time anymore. In the 90's at some majors, 600hrs meant low-time. Today, 3,000hrs could be low-time.
I'm in the same boat as JoeyMeatballs. I'll be 7th year FO soon. Most of this time scraping the bottom of lineholder status or reserve. For those of us with between 4-6,000hrs of TT, most of which is turboprop and/or jet, who are still FOs due mostly to the age 65 effect, where do we stand? Do we deserve to get hired into the right seat of a 737 with no 121 PIC time? I wonder what the hiring depts think.
