Second, because you mentioned that you had been out for a few years, get back into the books! ATP study guides and the Instrument Flying Handbook. I don't believe any of the questions you'll get on any of the interviews you'll be invited to will be overly difficult but be sure you're prepared with the knowledge about the flying you'll be doing (I'm not referring to the aircraft the company flies, they don't expect you'll know much about that).
Third, read gouge and try and get in contact with people that work at the airlines you're targeting. You will know which ones are your first, second and so on choices. Be sure to do your homework on them. And I completely agree with WIPilot, don't sell yourself short and apply anyway; let the airline make the decision to call or not but don't stop working on your skill set and qualifications.
Lastly, if you're interested in Piedmont let me know. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about us and point your resume in the right direction.
Good Luck!
Actually Piedmont is one of my choices. I live in NW Ohio, so something out of DTW, DAY, CLE, or Columbus is preferred but I don't think the commute to PHY wouldn't be too bad. Applications for Piedmont are submitted through Airlinepilotapps?
I plan on continuing to fly and have bought study material for Instrument IPC and ATP.
