So I am very seriously considering going to a non legacy 121 carrier in order to improve my application and increase my chances.
If your numbers are correct, I wonder if the relatively low percentage of 91/135 pilots is reflective of the numbers that apply. I am under the impression most corporate guys are pretty happy and comfortable where they are.
