Mrs Johnson, I am a wife of an unemployed Pilot and if your son expects to get a response well he might want to think of choosing a different industry to work in.
I read these forums as often as I can, and have a good giggle and a right moan on some of them, but the one thing that I have noticed is that the guys on this site tell it how it is, be it the good the bad or the ugly.
I watch my husbad fill in application after application, and he still persevers, as I am sure so many other unemployed pilots do.
So if you son has only sent out 2 applications tell him to man up move out and get on with his life and if he has a wife and children then my thoughts go out to them because I know what it is like to be the Pilots Wife
