i tried many of them from middle east and also Turkish recently. unfortunately there r two usual reasons to b declined
* some of them, like Turkish for instance, require being actively flying on type or above 20 ton aircraft in the last 6 months. my last flight on jet was 5 years ago.
* or the 1000 jet time requirement attached with most recruitment ads. other than that 850 hrs, all my time is single engine turbo prop.
i m doing everything i can to get back to airline job and get at least couple of hundred hours to open me some doors. right now, Lion seems to b my best bet. i m gonna apply again soon...hopefully doing my recurrent will change things
