And no, I'm not asking for them to hold my hand or do everything for me. I'm the one who went through the process to become a military officer and pilot. I made the transition to fixed wing and 121 training with zero set backs or failures. Took it upon myself to volunteer, continue education beyond a Bachelor's, get app reviews, seek out internal recs, take the first possible upgrade, and go to the job fair to see them. I'm doing what I can to try and stand out and show my determination and desire. I'd like to think I'm on the right path, but who really knows.

Keep doing what you're doing? I know quite a few other people who were told the same genetic response. Giving us something to work with would be appreciated because nobody really knows what they're looking for. Not when some people with 6k hours are passed up and they take others with 3k hours or even less.
You and 8000 other RJ pilots have the same specs/ speech and get the same answer. Things you can do stand out even further:
- community involvement (and I don’t mean something generic like a soup kitchen). Get involved with something you’re passionate about.
- Company: LCA/SLIP/project pilot
- Union: Safety/communications
- classes: start slow progress towards a masters? More generic training and qualifications?
