Good lord - Smartcol back again. I'm still not convinced that you aren't a wind up merchant.
++ Is there any chance that when someone posts something on this site, in desperation and frustration about the lack of jobs for young pilots
Umm, we've all been there and got the T Shirt - thanks. Want to see a stack of rejection letters and failed sponsorship applications? I've got dozens and so have most pilots. And why should we sympathise with young pilots - its the middle ages Wannabes with family commitment who warrant the greatest sympathy. Arguably.
++who have shelled out £40,000+ to sit on their arse and write letters and open , when airlines can be bothered sending them, rejection letters
Well frankly if the sum of your job seeking attempts is sitting on your backside firing off a stream of mail merged covering letters then you don't deserve and won't get a sniff of a job under the present, or indeed, past climates. If airlines don't advertise for 200hr Frzn ATPL pilots then don't expect them to employ someone to deal with their applications and buy stamps to send letters of apology.
++ and try to speak to people on the phone for advice or online for advice as to where to go next, is there any chance that people could be realistic and pleasant.
Realistic, yes, pleasant - maybe depending on mood. People on the other end of the phone are at work, with bosses, deadlines and a stack of work to be getting on with. Unsolicited applications come WAY down the priority list. As for here - hell - 5 years ago there was no here and Wannabes were in a deep dark hole with nobody to talk to. Which is why PPRuNe Wannabe became such a major part of PPRuNe. Be grateful and don't be precious.
++I am sick of reading on these forums, cocky answers, put downs, nasty responses and alike from ponses already in a position
Well you ain't enjoying this post then are you? And if you want to call people ponses then make sure you never bump into them in the future.
++spare a thought, if you can for those of us who are trying to get to where you are. What we need is advi
What the hell do you think the dozens of worthy contributors to this forum do ever week year in year out?!? You can get a lot of help and advice from PPRuNe. You just have to take a very different approach from the one you seem to take, slagging off your flying instructors, slagging off the airlines and slagging off the pilots who contribute to this forum.
Anyway, good luck,
