Took me three years to get the call. My credentials are somewhat less impressive than yours. I've heard that we hired pilots last year with total times from the mid 2000s to the mid 20,000s, and aged mid 20s to late 50s. So its not just one thing they're looking for. Check all the boxes you can. Get more LORs. They're free, so don't skimp.
