I don't think they care. I am a 9 yr RJ FO with no TPIC. They are hiring lots of them. If you meet the mins, then you are considered. The reason some guys with low time are getting calls, and other guys with 747 types and high time are not, is primarily job fairs. Some people may not agree with that statement, but I asked around during interview, it was the very common element.
Truth is Atlas has lots of resumes on file. Going to a job fair gets yours pulled for further review. It may seem like a ridiculous way of doing it, but all the airlines do it and it shows to them that you are more ambitious about the job than just sitting at home complaining.
