You've spent hours completing an online application form, you press the submit button and if you're lucky, an e-mail appears confirming that it has been sent/received.
If you're not so lucky, you press the submit button, the system crashes and all your hard work disappears into cyberspace.
What do you do?
Do you phone the airline (assuming you can find a contact number and at the risk of annoying them) and ask if their whizzo new system has processed you application?
Do you start again and risk wasting more time?
Do you give up and decide you didn't want to be a pilot after all?
I'm fed up wasting my time after the second loss this week. The airlines must have massive databases full of rubbish from unsuccessful attempts. A pile of CVs would surely be better than this faceless method?
And while I'm in rant mode, how do you retain a copy of the application screens if no "save" or "print" options appear?
