Going Boeing,

I am interested in your comment in an earlier post...

Qantas mainline is screaming for pilots and will take every one who meets the minimum standards
I applied two years ago with the minimum requirements, got a no, ok fair enough, not much hiring back then. Hadn't flown for family reasons after that, then last year saw lots of threads about rapid expansion etc, and sent in an update. Got another no letter, saying they didn't expect I would be competitive in the foreseeable future (or words to the effect!). Now I'm well educated, perhaps a little on the older side of the ledger (late 30s so maybe that didn't help), but I was surprised I still didn't even progress to Stage 2. So, are they really that short of pilots??
