I want to be proactive and get my resume out there, but just need opinions on whether or not I should hold my breath.
Is it fair to say that they might consider me or should I expect them to see "65 multi" and toss my app?

Also: I am currently a 141 CFII. Thanks.
Absolutely apply. When I was hired, my airline had 600/100 minimums, and I had 750/45. The interview is more than just seeing if you have met the minimums. The worst they can say is no thanks. Another option is they could say "go get another 35 hours, call us back, and we'll give you a class date." That is exactly what happened to me (they said to get 25 hours multi).
