If you can find out whose in charge of hiring, get their name and address then Priority Mail a copy of your resume to them. That way it ends up on their desk and they have to sign for it and at least open it to look at it. It's gutsy, but I've seen it work. You can usually get contact info on aviationinterviews.com at the top of the gouge.
2. Find someone you know that works for one of those companies and get them to hand in your resume. Recommendations from current employees usually go a long way.
3. Update your resume often (at least once a month). Some people I know do it every two weeks. Show them you're still flying and that you're committed to working at THIER COMPANY.
4. Stick with it. I had resumes out to companies before meeting minimums and kept updating for almost 5 months before finally getting a phone call and that was with two employees walking my stuff in. You just have to be persistent.
Good luck with the job search. From what I hear the places you have applied to are pretty solid regionals.
Clyde,
This is great advice from Sharky. Also make sure you update any online application you may have on file.
One thing you didn't mention in your post is what you're currently doing. Are you actively flying? Recency is very important and most airlines require a minimum of 100 hours in the past six months.
Give it some time; nothing ever happens as fast as we want it to. Network, network, network.
Good luck!!
