I'm currently on a trip with a guy that spent a year at American before coming to United. Not a big deal to switch legacies these days, especially cause he lives in base with UA and commuted to AA.

All you can do is address the things under your control that will make you more appealing like: having your app professionally reviewed, getting to conferences, working on a meet & greet, and updating your current employer to a major airline.

Get through another training program at a competitor, get a new type rating on a big boy jet, and update your stuff regularly. You might be very surprised with the result.

4 years ago next month he was 25 and barely had his 1500 hrs to start at Skywest. Today he is just off probation at United and holds a 737 CA bid. If your not spending your free time working your connections and polishing your application you should be.
