Just a heads up, the lowest-time candidates I saw in my interview group were CFIs who either already exceeded or were nearly at ATP mins.
The bulk of candidates seemed to be either regional pilots, 91/135 turbine pilots, or recently retired 121. Best of luck to you, but I wouldn’t count on JSX if you’ve just got a wet commercial/IR.
It’s an exciting place and folks seem really happy, so you might just want to grind out those hours as a CFI and then make your application!
