Lots of other regionals have higher monthly flight lines.
OP clearly states (s)he sold soul to become a cadet. Not military. Didn’t mention 4 year degree. The only (possible) evidence, at least on this site, of someone possibly getting picked up outside the flow low time was E175 Driver. While I do believe he legitimately is who he has claimed, he had a ERU degree, and I believe his (her?, but doubtful) daddy is at AA. I recall an early post from him. Nepotism is alive at AA. I sat on the JS with an interviewer and he told me specifically it has come into play recently.
While I believe the chances are getting better, you have to check a lot of boxes to get hired by a major. What those boxes are just depends on the person. But one way or the other, you have a lot of check marks to fill in before you get there. Some you can control, some you can’t and some just take longer to check. Up to the individual how they want to go about checking those boxes.
