72 cv's and applications i've sent in the last 12 months
So that's 6 per months ... Big deal
On the same period, I wrote 450 CV & application letters .. that's a bit more than one per day .. not really time consuming.
I suggest you grab the last JP Airline or some Flight International listing all aircraft ops in the world .. You will probably find out there are more than 72
Sure, it's not easy for lowtimers, but still, those days are the best since years to find a pilot job ... Keep on writing letters and licking stamps !
