Do you do volunteer work? (Not that I think it's an indicator of a good pilot, but evidently AK does) Do you have the same number of letters? What were your grades in college?
I'm sure you do have more experience. But, after a certain level of experience they are looking at the whole person, and the whole person needs to fit their model.
FWIW I went through the same thing with UAL back in the 90s.....people with far less time we're getting hired and I couldn't get an interview.
As a good friend of mine said....airline hiring is voodoo.
