Some advice on how I'd stack up with majors..
Hi guys, new to the 121 process world so I figured I'd share my stats to see just how I'd stack up in applying to any of the majors. All flying has been 135/91 ops.
5600TT
5200ME
5100Turbine(all Jet)
1700TPIC
No checkride or written failures at any level
No incidents, accidents or violations
B.S. degree
Lot of international ops and crossings
I also have at least one or two internal recs at a few of the majors that I could use.
Thanks for the time and safe flying!

It looks solid for the majors and legacy. Once you pass 4kTT and 1k TPIC, which you have, then more time doesn't help. A job fair could help you get an interview or if you can work your way into the training department that will usually get you a call quickly.

I'm no HR person nor am I involved in the hiring at my airline. With that said you look solid. My only advise to you - gathered from flying with many new hires in the past 4 years is:
1. Apply and update
2. Job fairs
3. Seek an internal rec
4. Keep doing what your doing and keep your nose clean
Maybe consider a tour at one of the LCC airlines like Spirit, JB, ALG, Frontier, VA etc. This would get you some 121 and Airbus or Boeing time. You already have plenty of turb PIC.
After that and what you've done already in your career I can't come up with anything more. Just get some luck. I'll take luck in this business over being good any day.

You look solid. Everything everyone already said plus: apply to regionals in addition to LCCs and Majors. Delta for one is leery of straight corporate pilots because they can't really be sure how well they were trained since the quality of corporate flight departments/135/91 operators are all over the map (their words). If you get any 121 offer(s), take the best, get trained, be successful and keep your apps at the Majors updated. Good luck
