There have been some small glimmers of hope for us oldies recently - the successful ones have mostly been ex-Instructors.
Despite that, it's very obvious that we generally aren't even called for interview so the decision is taken long before we have a chance to make a case face-to-face with the recruitment people.
Loganair's recruitment policy is a mystery to me. Their recent recruits are what I would consider to be prime candidates for airline employment (young, integrated course graduates) but how many will stay even a year before looking for a jet job? It must surely make better economic sense for a small local airline operating basic turboprops to look for a mix of candidates including a number who'll stay for a reasonable length of time?
