Hopefully, just a "one-off" month and that can be managed easily.

I applied a couple weeks ago and got a TBNT 2 days later. Military background, 3300 TT and 1500 TPIC with a clean record. Am I bad candidate? Or did I make a typo somewhere and end up victim to some algorithm?

Ironically, you may be "too good" of a candidate and someone they feel might leave for a legacy at the first opportunity. Just speculation though.

I think it's the TT. I haven't seen anybody under 4,000TT and that was with a pretty good internal rec too
If you have any buddies working here, hit them up for a rec.

It's impossible to say that someone is a "bad candidate," with such little information. Total time or any metric of experience, doesn't mean much in isolation. More importantly, though, the tendency to introspectively ask, "am I not good enough," or to wonder what one lacks, due to a rejection letter or notice, is normal. When one asks, "what is wrong with me," or with my resume, or my experience, one may be missing the bigger picture. It may be that nothing is amiss. Not every one gets a call at any given time, and a rejection isn't an indictment on an applicant or his or her experience, resume format, etc. It may be as simple as an issue of competitiveness on a given day. All companies publish hiring minimums, but those are mostly irrelevant, because it's the competitive minimums that apply, and those may change frequently.

Competitive minimums are those established by other applicants, not the company, and that boils down to whom else applies. If one had 3,000 hours, but other applicants for a job have 10,000, then the competitive minimums, or what one needs to compete with the other applicants, will be closer to 10,000 hours. Likewise with background and experience (hours aren't experience, but simply one measure). If every other applicant is typed and has experience in type, or in that type of operation, or considerably more experience in that type of operation, then the higher experience level may be what one is competing with on that day, week, or month. None of these, alone, determine whether one gets an interview, or is hired, etc, but all have an impact.

Employers tend to look at the totality of what the applicant has shown. Is the resume and cover letter format standard, or is it some other unconventional format (a resume several pages long, for example)? Has the applicant gathered several type ratings, but has no experience in those aircraft? Did the applicant obtain training then, then leave the employer shortly thereafter? Has the applicant made numerous job changes? Does the applicant history show an "upward trend" in selecting employment, or many lateral moves, or downgrades in the nature of his or her work history? How do components of the applicant's experience stack up: appropriate percentage of instrument time to total, adequate multi engine time, nature of prior employment relative to desired employment, and so on. Is one coming from a VFR utility operation to a Cat III instrument environment?

I very much doubt that Omni, or most other employers are looking at an applicant as overqualified. I very much doubt that a low-time applicant would be considered over-qualified (and 3,000 hours isn't high-time). I very much doubt that Omni (or most other employers) are rejecting applicants because the applicant might be qualified to go elsewhere.

The overwhelming majority of pilots hired here in the last 3 years have had well over 3000 TT and 1500 TPIC. The new hire classes have been a good mix of both civilian and military backgrounds. I don't think he/she is "too good". Like others have said, there is more to it than total flight time.

Does Omni have ride along maintenance?

Yes, we have ride along maintenance.
