OzzieO,
You are entitled to your opinion, but it doesnt make you right.
Maybe it is not good
PR to not reply, but unfortunately in the *REAL WORLD* that is how it is. And whats more the job won't come and find you, you have to go and get it!
Maybe take teachin's advice, phone them, or pop in if possible.
Have you any idea how many CV's a HR dept of an airline gets ?
Maybe you guys that think I'm so stupid can you explain where the financial sense of employing someone purely to write and post 1000's of letters each year saying "Sorry you don't make the grade."
