There are many unemployed, highly experienced pilots who have been looking for jobs for months, and not to put you down, but who are airline's going to hire? A first-timer with little experience or an experience jet pilot with 5000 hours?
What about the hundreds of experienced pilots on this forum moaning that low hour cadets are taking their jobs? In the early stage of your career you are often favoured over someone with experience, as you are cheaper to employ and you can be moulded into the airline. There are many unemployed, experienced pilots out there. Why don't they have jobs then?
