There are many highly skilled pilots who never get an interview. One reason is HR does most of the hiring. HR has there own agenda which has very little to do with operating an airliner. HR loves college degrees, because they have college degrees. Younger pilots cost less to insure for benefits. RJ pilots seem to due very well in training.
Best of luck with your career.
