Use your post 9/11 GI bill at a 141 flight school that is also an aviation degree seeking program. Even though you already have your ratings you can enroll in a CFI lab, and through that build up enough flight time for your ATP mins. I too flew 60's and only have the minimums for my ATP and I have interviews lined up for next month.

All the standard Lakes bashing, as usual. How many of those flogging the place worked there? Can you please at least let us know?
I DID fly there, and went because I was in a similar boat as the OP time-wise and am glad I did!
When I went through there was no simulator eval for interview... it sounds like that has changed. If they did send profiles to memorize, go off and memorize them. Fly them on MSFS in a king air or similar and practice them. If they had call outs, say call out as you fly the profile. Do some full procedure approaches, maybe the ILS to CYS for example, noting where you can get bitten on missed approach altitudes and the feeder to do the approach again, for example. Do this with the wind and turbulence jacked up...

I flew at Great Lakes. I had 850 TT when hired. I spent a little over a year there. I left with 1850 TT, a type rating and an ATP. The pay has improved, the company is still horrible. You will walk out a better pilot and with the requirements met for an airline career. Get in, get your time and leave. There are very few responding who have flown there. PM me if you have any questions. Remember, just because it's a sh!tty place to work, doesnt mean you will make it through the sim. Good luck!
Just out of curiosity, do you have your ATP written completed? If not, that is an obstacle in your very near future. Is GLA offering the CTP course?
Are you eligible for a Restricted ATP?
