Like Kenny said, NO chance with a CFI background, there's just too many "more" qualified candidates CX can choose from. Though I don't think the jet vs. t-prop matters much, as long as your total is close to 3k, and ~1000 turbine. I got on with less than 3k total, 34 yrs, no turbine PIC, a mix of 121 t-prop and jet, but had an internal reference (though don't know how much that carries weight).

Keep flying what you can, and if you really want CX, and I believe it is one of the few really desirable airlines to work for, steer towards that t-prop/jet as much as possible. Your mgmt skills and background will come in handy for the interview, but you still need the flight experience to get the call.

Good luck!
