For gods sake; If you get a jet rating and you have less than 2000Hrs, you are kidding yourself!
Dont want to be harsh, but reading countless posts about SO hiring is really draining. Now, they will always hire F/O over S/O anyday, so all you guys really need to be patient! considering S/O will have to do 200+ sectors, you are not a priority. You will get hired but there was only TWO S/O in the recent intake out of 35. So please realise that they are taking some, but its going to be a wait. (not talking about Fast Track just the S/O positions)
If you want to talk about how long you have waited then the thread here is where you need to go:

PLUS they have their school cadets coming in as S/O and Qataries will always get the position ahead of you.
So please read and go look for a job parachute dropping or ANYTHING to keep yourself current and gaining experience and stop wanting to get into a jet so quick... believe me, you will have more fun doing this while you wait.
