I think there are many factors at the moment which I guess are the following:
* lots of applicants sending their form every week
* recruitment team is very small
* simulators are completely full 24/24
* urgent need for captain based at Belfast, Luton, Madrid
* they dont like candidated to be too old
* they prefere Cadets and TRSS guys so they can make a lot of money with CTC,
good luck
