Well come to aviation, I spent 3 years in the hold pool for a well known freight operator, half that time was on the dole as well, whilst they had a change of direction and took on a load of cadets. They even wrote to me saying that I would be on the next course and then changed their mind. I did eventually work for them for a while.

BA had people in the pool and then kicked them out and made them re-apply a few years back.

At least you are earning, I was close to loosing my house during the last recession as my mortgage protection insurance was about to end before I got fished out by the above mentioned freight operator.
