Dont take this the wrong way folks but I think some people need a reality check as to the sheer number of applications and CV's airlines currently receive. I work for a UK airline, a small one, we have around 20 aircraft. We currently receive over 400 CV's per week from people looking for flying job! Can you possibly comprehend the number of CV's an airline on the scale of Ryanair will receive on a weekly basis?? We're not just talking Europe wide...we're talking worldwide. There are 1000' of people all in the same boat...first time passes...200 hours in the logbook. Harsh but true im afraid.
