Like most others in this forum, I can empathize with your partner. I too was jobless for a while after my flight training, however, the key is persistence. I got my break 2 months ago and then another one 3 weeks ago. I realize reading about other peoples break is a double edged sword. You're motivated by it but on the other hand you're wondering when and if it'll ever happen to you. THe fact is, airlines will hire you if you have legal requirements to serve as aircrew. More so now as there is a shortage of pilots. Ryanair is hiring like crazy so it's worth continuing to knock on their door. Hope it all works out for you.
