That got me exactly squat at Delta, NWA, AA, FedEx and CAL.
Most majors now require only 1000 turbine (SIC or PIC). You are much more competitive with the TPIC, but if you know someone or have multiple internal recs you can get called with out the TPIC. I've seen it many times.

FDX, UPS, SWA still require TPIC. Nobody knows about AA because they haven't hired in over a decade.

The OP should be competitive at many majors..he has military wings, a variety of FW aircraft and quals, and boeing time. He will of course need to leverage his military network...especially the navy reservist/airline guys.
