clear to land,
It’s not clear what you mean by “knocked back” but if you mean interviewed and rejected, that might be so in some cases but there’s another equally, if not more likely, explanation: can’t get an interview with a US career-destination carrier in the first place.
Just for the record, the US has legion upon legion of highly qualified candidates who can’t get a chance to be rejected because they can’t get an interview in the first place. This group contains eligible people flying in the ME, I can assure you.
These people have great quals, clean records, have applied repeatedly, spent great time/effort/money and even flown half way around the world to attend phony-baloney “career fairs” in hopes of just getting themselves a chance to be “knocked back”…and suddenly, nothing happened.
It’s Jungle Rules. Makes me feel fortunate to be old and unwanted.
