That about sums it up! I know it's probably tough to fork up some bucks to have someone review your application, attend job fairs etc. But in the end what's it worth to you? A lot if you are 36 and have 29 years left in the 121 world.
It's amazing what you might find that is wrong with your application (format, spelling, gaps, omissions). All these things can eliminate you from being considered.
Check-ride failures and other negatives are not necessarily the reason for not getting the call.
