Frankly Mr Shankley
I'm afraid it might just be him!
I'm thinking the same - I should have left him get picked on.
I'll contact the hr departments of the main airlines for what they look for.
As preuk said, the HR departments of airlines get thousands of CV's and letters to them all the time. In fact they probably get more mail than Santa does on the run up to Christmas!
I am aware of pilots with over 1,000 hrs who send their CV off to airlines and don't get a
'Thank you but we're not taking on' letter back.
READ THE FORUM AFRAZ!
Your best bet it to either train with CTC (as I mentioned above), I've heard the figure being thrown around that only 2% of applicants make it onto training and 98% of graduates move straight on to a jet job on graduating.
On the other hand you could use a cheaper school (less risk) spend £40k on training and if you don't get a job at least you have a licence to bimble around in your group shared 172. The rest you can just write off as a bad experience and learn from it.
