Hi there,
I received almost the same answers from airlines. The difference is that I am a low-timer with the A320 type rating. When I only had a CPL/IR, I got no response. Then I became qualified on the A320, I got responses with one question: ''how many hours on type do you have?''. One year later and still no job, I decided to pay those 300 hrs on type required. Then I got the job flying the A320 and now paid for flying.
It's amazing to see that the flight time requirements disappear when you give some $$$.
