Big companies have huge amounts of applications to plough through, especially at a time when jovs are scarce. Do you really expect the Chief Pilot, etc. to talk to every single person who applies and explain why they weren't successful? Because if he/she does it to you, they'll then have to do it for everyone else and that will never end!
It isn't just the way with big companies either; it's pretty standard for recruitment as a whole, unfortunately. I've been on the receiving end of it myself.
