6200TT, 1300TPIC, 4 type ratings, 4 internal recs, mixture of 135 and regional. 4 year degree in pilot. I started applying in 2014, MTC in late 2018, interview scheduled in March 2020 that got cancelled. I applied again when they start hiring again this year and got through this time. Both times I got the phone call, it seemed like it was right after one of my recs gave my resume to their base chief pilot. Doesn't seem to be any magic bullet.
