Even with our newly reduced minimuns, you are still short of the minimums.
Especially short if 550 is your total multi time, with 1000 being the mins.

You still have to play the game of a few internal recommendations and having a job fair under your belt will definitely help.
I would rather hire someone with less experience but has shown initiative to get the job, versus someone who submits an impressive resume and expects the offer to come flying in.
If you have done a job fair and submitted some LOR, that is a different story.

Please don't make any career decisions based on all the negativity on this site. All the guys and gals in my class were very highly qualified for the position, mostly regional captains. The first year pay is low but the quality of life is by far the best I have ever had in my 10 years in the industry. If you don't end up liking it you're much more competitive for a major with the Airbus type. The attitude on the line is not as negative as the loud minority on APC, most guys I fly with enjoy the job.
