I know of many experienced RFDS drivers with 7000-9000 hours who are not the slightest bit interested in flying for an airline.
They are operating very nicely equipped turbines and enjoy 10 days off at home every month with their families with no overnights.
Most of them are happy with their lifestyle and would'nt swap it for an airline roster. They simply don't wish to be away from their families for days/nights on end.
Flying an A320/B737 is not the be all and end all for lots of reasons,the RFDS guys who meet the requirements for the airlines are in most cases, already there, the ones that remain, do so out of lifestyle choice.
Not everyone wants an airline interview.
