I don't know if it is mentioned by any one else but line training is normally 4 sectors with a safety pilot, after that it's just you and the training Captain with an aircraft full of passengers who are paying to fly somewhere. Part of their ticket price SHOULD be paying your salary. The company are operating that flight to provide a service and make a profit, it is not like your previous training where the flight was operated entirely for your benefit.

If the original poster has really sent thousands of CV's and applications without response or success have they considered they might be doing something wrong as hiring as been good over the last few years. Is it worth considering attending an Airline application/interview preparation course to see if you can make your applications stand out, this will cost you just a few hundred €. I have never personally been on one as I got a job within three months but a friend of mine did and found it very helpful in getting in to DHL.

Lap800, TCX refers to Thomas Cook airlines who went bankrupt the other week.
