Bentleg has got it spot on. I applied for an overseas airline and got knocked back for an ATR42 and Dash 8 position only to find out my resume was passed on to the A320 Chief Pilot because they thought I was more suitable for the position and to make me happy (so I would stay - although a 3 year bond was in place).

Being overqualified sometimes has it's drawbacks. Just keep on knocking.

If it's any consolation, my former CFI got knocked back at Rex a few months ago as well. He had 5,000+ hrs ( half of it on multi ).


Goodluck
