We go to all the effort to make a professional, quality, accurate application and resume, and upload videos to the best of our ability and the clowns there cant even perform basic HR administration tasks. It adds to the frustration substantially but at the end of the day it wont change your attitude to wanting to be a pilot or securing a job with an airline if that's what you really want.

All I can do is fly to the best of my ability every time and incrementally get better. Eventually, I will have the practical skills, knowledge and capability to be a commercial pilot. whether that translates into a paid job is, in some respects, out of my control. I just need to focus on the bit that I can control and attempt to make it as attractive to employers as possible. Again, the frustration is that it is never entirely clear what those employers are looking for however the enjoyment of flying is enough for me to keep doing it. Good luck all.
