This career is a lottery. I've stopped comparing my career movement to others'. Anyone who thinks they "achieved" a legacy job through hard work is delusional. The job simply happened, just as it didn't for many equally qualified others.
I agree with you man... I've met equally qualified pilots that get called immediately after posting their CV making it look like the easiest task in the world nowadays and people who've been waiting for years and not a single call... I also think is a lottery, but just in case a clean record and extracurricular activities in your resume wouldn't hurt.
