You're probably "over-qualified". They think you'll jump ship in the next few years as the hiring really starts to pick up at the legacies. I know a regional FO who was just hired without a degree. He had 3500TT, 1500 turbine, and about 400 turbine PIC. Just a guess but they may be looking for pilots who will stick around a while. Not that you wouldn't, but on paper you look prime for a legacy job.

With all due repspect, there are a handful of guys I know with very similar times that applied right before and after I did without internals or job fairs that are making their way through the interview process. so I don't buy that, fully.

You are correct, a month ago they were hiring Ameriflight guys. Also I know several people who applied multiple times before getting hired. Job fair is probably still the best bet.

For me and that is just me, as a line pilot, my airline is making all the RIGHT decisions and making ton of money, so if they pull out of a route because they think its not making enough money, so be it and i am all for it, and I think you as a line pilot should be happy too that our company is making all the right moves and keeping us employed.
btw, I came from an airline that kept flying a route that didn't make a cent for 5 years, yet we kept that route, go figure.
