Virgin application fail.

Hi everyone. Newbie here at this forum thing, so I hope I posted in the right area...
OK, well, I have applied twice with Virgin for Melbourne base (online) and twice I get a thanks but no thanks email....
Now, what gets me so upset and confused is why?????
I don't want to sound arrogant, but after 19 years of face to face customer service roles, most of which were in a management position I wonder what else they need to even offer me the chance to prove myself at an AD.
It seems I am not even worthy of that.
I pondered whether it is because of my age????? 40 this year....eeek! ha ha ha
But seriously, can anyone who works there advise on what else they need from me?
I have my relevant skills which mirror their requirements and also all the certifications they need.
If anyone has any opinions I would love to hear from you.
I am still slightly hopeful that maybe one day they may see me as someone worth inviting to an assessment but my hopes have been crushed thus far and I wonder if perhaps I am "to old" to take the punishment of not even making it past the online application. It kind of shatters your hopes and makes you ponder about how inadequate one may be in their eyes.
Yes, a tad dramatic, but I am a bit low today after another rejection.
Thanks guys, look forward to your feedback.
