Look my man,
Send the applicaiton anyway. I they're short of pilots and your application lands on their desk at that moment, they'll call you. I'm no expert but if I had your experience I'd send letters, email, call and do it over again until they "yes" or "stop annoying us".
It shounds hard headed but if these guyz need pilots...they won't blcok their doors. One never knows.
Best wishes
