It can be done cause they have getting a guy through quick, and at min standards, down to an art form.

You'll benefit from already having your ME and an expired CFI. Just be sure to be VERY IFR proficient. I think they let you use the sims for free. I'd make use of that and be sure to go into it as well prepared as possible. They expect you to show up already prepared.

You meet 135 mins, which is half the battle. Even consider night freight for six months as a way to move up? Again, you'd have to get well brushed up on IFR, but starting pay is better than first year pay at the regionals, and you'd be in a good position to take your pick of regional jobs. Besides, you'd end up a much better stick in the end.
