What does it take??
 
Having applied to 18 different airlines the best response is "held on file" from three of them. Today BA Citiexpress sent the Dear John letter too - no explanation. I've got 1500 hours (1000 instructional whilst earning a pittance) and enough "life experience" at 37 to be an asset to someone. I've only been applying for a couple of months now but it's frustrating to say the least.
Am I ;
(a) Too old
(b) Have too many of the wrong hours, or
(c) Too impatient

I'm sure I won't be as p***ed off tomorrow, but feel free to contribute.

PS. I don't mean to put any of you guys off. Just telling it like it is.

Did the old BCPL route, which is comparable to the modular. Spent a long time doing non-approved IR via a deal with my flying school (not a great deal in the end due to the time delay). Perhaps the airlines aren't as keen on this route but there's not many of us left.
