I can't see one post on here which would question your ability to fly an aeroplane.

I'm sure we all expect that you can fly an aeroplane just as well as anyone fresh out of flight school with a CPL/IR. Unfortunately, modern airline flying is actually very little to do with your ability to fly an aeroplane, since the autopilot does that, and very much more to do with decision making, fuel planning, and understanding weather systems, all of which can be gained purely from experience. Therefore you will really struggle to find a decent job without some hours behind you, or paying for a type rating and likely line training too.

The only reason you are being met with hostility is your lack of research, and your comment about the search function.

Buzzing out 135 cvs is pretty much useless, you'd be far better off finding 10 companies that are actually likely to hire you and make appointments to see people, phone them, badger them, follow them round, talk to people who already work there, do their laundry, whatever it takes to get a job.
