Take this with a salt packet or two, since I interviewed in March. But I am not R-ATP, and had in the ballpark of 850-900TT. I applied and was contacted for an interview within a day, flown up the Minne within a few weeks.
What I did had going for me (I think) was I work at a scheduled 135 operator and have been flying 110-120 hours a month since February.
I was given a tentative class date in October but ended up taking a class in mid November.
