Ha! That's nothing. When Ansett went out of business, I sent out 55 resumes and didn't hear Jack Shight untill I call a call out the blue from a company that I hadn't even applied for (some one recommended me). This was 10 months after the 'event'.
I had 8,500 hrs and 3 jet type ratings.
Keep trying. Never give up. Remember: "The Squeeky Wheel gets the grease".
How did you get your 1,600 hrs? Why not instruct? You did the rating and have the hours where you could probably offer something to students. Any flying is better than no flying.
Best of luck.
