You had a shot Vito, it didn't work out; take it on the chin and move on. I'm not that long employed in the industry but one thing is apparent - it is a very small world. You've heard of six degrees of separation - well I'd reckon in aviation its about three at most. There is no room to go around badmouthing anyone, not even on anonomous fora.
Keep chipping away, have patience and with the right attitude and a little luck something will come up for you.
