Two Part 121 type ratings (I assume you have at least two) to go along with that 600 TPIC will help, may make you competitive against a regional guy with one type and 1000 TPIC. Also if you have no part 121 training failures, a degree, vol work, and all that other jazz. The type of stuff that actually used to matter on applications during pre-COVID hiring.

Time for them to focus on hiring, ya know, pilots and stop worrying about hiring marketing marionettes.

you’re in good shape. There are a lot of people in the CJO pool with like 2500 TT and 0tpic. United (any legacy) would be incredibly lucky to have ya

Going to a job fair would probably help. A lot.

I was just out at TK. They said these last couple of months, the hiring flt times have gone up dramitcally. 8-10k. Cause is, mainly hiring Spirit and Frontier pilots, many Capts.

For whatever it is worth, I have the absolute minimums (right at 1500.2 hours). I received a CJO in April. I consider myself to be incredibly lucky and don't truly understand why I was extended an offer. I almost didn't even apply because I thought there would be no way they would even consider me (when I applied, I didn't even have my ATP). Hope this provides some encouragement.
