The employer is free to choose among applicants, obviously.

Your statement that no one knows what airlines are looking for in an applicant is false and uninformed.

It's your responsibility as an applicant to know what an employer is looking for before you apply. If you apply in ignorance without knowing, it speaks to you as a person and volumes about your level of maturity and professionalism, but does nothing to suggest that no one knows what airlines are looking for in an applicant.

If you do the research to learn what your target airline wants in an applicant, ensure you meet that requirement, and appky, it does not mean that you will get the job. It's entirely possible that other applicants are more qualified than you.

No, the employer is not obligated to detail to you the qualifications of others who applied and were hired.

Numerous companies and consultants exist which will provide whatever you need to know about a target employer, from requirements to questions asked in the interview to details of the sim check to the demographics oother applicants and new hires. It's all out there. If you're not aware or havent made the effort to get it, this is on you; dont suggest that no one knows what airlines want, because that is absolutely untrue.

It's an excuse that you want?

Try this one: the guy that got hired was more qualified than you.

It's extremely well established, what airlines want in an applicant. Learning this and checking the boxes obligates no one to employ you. Simply because you have what an airline wants does not make you a new hire so long as the next applicant is more attractive to that airline.

Think.
