He told me that there are tons of guys out there with 4000 multi-engine hours that will get the interview before I do.

Don't most airlines grant fighter time some sort of multiplier?

I will be taking the ATP written before 1 Aug. Just trying to see what my chances would be of getting an interview with any major to see if I can even think about getting out by summer of 2015.

Thanks in advance
Can you even take the ATP before you have 1500 hours? I do not think the FAA considers any multiplier in order for you take it. It's been a while since I did the ATP written. . not sure if it is only good for 2 years or not. Check that out before you waste time and money taking the exam.
