I am a foreigner working for a german airline.
we expect to hire over 200 FOs in the next 12 months, but at the moment we just don’t have the capacity to train the new hires.
Captains and new FOs are waiting 2, 3 or even more months to start flying after their type rating or upgrade.
When (if) training gets back up to speed you may get an invitation soon.

But there could be another reason: most or all airlines in Germany use Interpersonal. If for example your resume or cover letter is below standard, it could negatively impact all your applications.
