I'm in a similar boat as you but with about 5700tt, 2500 jet PIC, 3600pic, 4300 multi, BS in Aviation Management 3.67 GPA (it did take me 6 years because nobody helped me and I had to work to support my wife and I through college). Honestly I thought I would have a shot, but I'm getting the feeling that if your not military or 121 your not getting looked at. I even have 3 internal recs and have not heard anything.
