It's not completely impossible, but luck and connections play 10 times their normal role these days. Forget about the regular way of application via an online system. Nobody will do that for a long time to come because nobody has the time or willingness to read through 1000 applications for 1 or 2 openings. Vacancies are so scarce that almost every employer already has someone in mind for each of them before they have even opened.

My suggestion would be to try and look into getting ANY job with an air operator of some kind for the sake of getting a foot into the door. Even if it's a job manning a reception desk. In this way, you stand a chance of being promoted internally when the time comes. And, by that time, you will have diversified your knowledge with learning some areas of the business other than flying - which will position you better for your future career progression.
