1600 turbine time isn't enough. Minimum is 2000 Turbine, and the others are right, TPIC isn't "required" anymore. TPIC will certainly push you over the top. As is, with a few hundred more hours, your app is just as competitive as a few thousand other apps.
Get 2000 total turbine, upgrade, go to job fairs.
Until then, you are close to being one of a few thousand barely qualified applicants.

FAPA, OBAP, NGPA, RTAG.
Although I wouldn't be surprised to see them more involved in the future at other ones, including things like Oshkosh and SunNFun.

A buddy of mine submitted his app and got the invite to interview after around 8 weeks. 5500 total, regional captain 1500 tpic, Military Veteran with a college degree. And got a thanks but no thanks email. FO’s are apparently getting invites with zero pic and no degree and no military.

Cant say that I have heard of too many people getting a TBNT email unless they really screwed up the interview pretty badly.
Yes, regional FOs are getting the call now. Primarily because there are so few regional captains that have up to date applications and are bothering to keep them current. Many Regional Captains are getting comfortable and not applying to the airlines. As a result, their FOs are getting hired instead. And in a year or so when the regional industry collapses, the current regional Captains will be junior to their previous FOs.
