So you never got there to interview? At least they were nice enough to let you know they werent interested. I know of quite a few airlines I've applied and had met their times and nothing back....... Now the minimums are pretty low all out there however if I understand right you have a IRA/CMEL? A CFI would help that greatly and get some mroe hours and or my buddy who did get hired at PSA with only his CMEL wet (which i signed him off for) he had nearly 1400/300 when he got hired and is in my class......

Anyways keep the hopes up and things will work out...... However aftere instructing at ATP i would refrain from bashing those who are able to get jobs out of ATP.... Many at ATP have nearly 500 at the minimum. There are the rare ones with less who pay for the jet course. However 500-600 is xjet mins and we all talk about how great they are. So they typically have a well rounded experience from dual cockpit to being an instructor for 200-300 hours of dual and typically in a seminole...... They pay a crap load and what not but for the most part those who go through ATP program are pretty damn good pilots..... I've trained a couple so i take that to heart.....
