Yes I do and it's crickets. I update them at least once a month. Same with Envoy and EDV.

A degree and life experience since I'm a bit older, career changer.

I'm not sure that "life experience" is going to help you out much on a cold,dark, rainy night with an approach down to minimums.

FWIW, it seems that most regionals don't like second career types. Suposedly the reason behind that is a higher risk of failing out in training, satistically speaking; so I have been told. I have not researched the topic. So that could be one thing to look at as you reflect on the sound of crickets. Figuing out a way to get your ATP and a full type rating (as you have mentioned in the past) could help prove to recruiters you can successfully pass a training event.

I've followed OP's posts and it would seem they've probably got cold, dark, rainy nights approaching down to minimums in a 135 carrier. 3 years ago 2000 hours with 135 experience would have had multiple interviews and CJOs at the regionals. We're past that radar blip. If OP has apps in and keeps them updated, aside from getting face time at events I'm not sure what else can be done (other than shave the beard..

)
