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.
Yep...
I volunteer with three different organizations, I graduated with a 3.5 gpa in engineering, I have zero checkride busts, and I have 3 internals with 15 other references.
