No internals. All my professional flying time is multi turbine. Currently flying at a 121 carrier with multiple jet type ratings.
And no, I won’t be taking a 50k+ pay cut to go to a regional to “get some more time”. Spirit seems like a great place to hang your hat, and I’ll certainly try again a year from now. But if flying for a regional is a prerequisite, I guess I’m out of the running.
It’s always hard to tell with these things. Whether it’s a personality thing, a question of experience, an error on an application, or just not what they’re looking for in an applicant. Just the way it goes, I suppose.

Maybe there's your problem?
You're at Empire or Silver? I think those are the only places where you can have the experience you have?

My airline added a new fleet and a bunch of us bid over to the new aircraft. I was on the previous aircraft for about a year before bidding to my current airplane. Same airline. No training failures. Flew the previous bird for about 300 hours before I moved to the new jet.

Nah, I’m a 767 cargo guy. Most of my time is in a Beech 1900 flying cargo and pax. Just started my 121 gig about a year and a half ago. I’d bet that a lack of jet time probably didn’t help, but I had hoped that international experience and some TPIC would make me competitive. I have the luxury of already being at a decent paying job. It just isn’t where I want to spend my career.
