Am I Competitive Enough?
21 years old. Been flying the beechjet for the last year and a half at a 135 operator. Total time is 1750 with 600 of that being in the jet. I have atp/ctp complete as well as the written complete too. 2 failed checkrides (private and the beechjet initial). I’ve had my application in for a month and haven’t heard back. Is there anything I can do to help my chances of getting an interview?

More time between you and the failure and more total time and more jet time.
Walk before you can run grasshopper.
Your initial introduction into a jet didn’t go without a hitch, there’s a reason why that happened.
You’re also very young. Now age doesn’t guarantee maturity but being that young won’t help.
Sit back, relax and enjoy your job.
You probably have no idea how lucky you already are flying a jet at that age with that little total time.
