I have over 2100TT, 1300ME, 121 Experience, EMB-145 SIC Type, 1100 Turbine, 400+ dual given, currency and a flying job within last year.

I'm not sure updating your app will make any difference: the last time I updated was about a month ago, so no I don't think updating will send you to the bottom. I've just seen that folks that got the call before me had their app in longer, that's all. Maybe it's just coincidence.

To the last poster: Do you think they're making decisions based on quality of flight time (e.g. 135 flying/121 experience/turbine experience) or do you think it's all at random? I'd like to hear from some folks who got the job offer.

I've heard that when the minimums are higher and they're picky, a lot of airlines "weed out" based on the HR questions, more so than the technical side of things. I figure if they like you, then you get the job, since everyone interviewing is probably a decent pilot and would be fine in training/out on line. If that's true then maybe I need to brush up on my interpersonal skills more than my Jepp plates! Just a thought.
