You do understand, you don’t choose an employer, they choose you, don’t you? That isn’t in jest. If you don’t want the job, don’t apply.

Sounds like you have decent flying record (no busts, violations or accidents) but, from a retired chief pilot’s view, a horrible work record. I’ve viewed hundreds of resumes, your’s would stand out for a lack of persistence and effort to make the career work. The furloughs are explainable, working somewhere for a few months and gaining nothing but a type without meaningful experience isn’t.

You need to show a record of success, even if it means suffering a little. That said, I took a “flyer” on a pilot without more than 18 months at one of seven jobs including a Fortune 25 bank. It worked out for both of us, I got a pilot for 7 years and a friend. He did create some needless commotion at times and I saw why he never lasted long, but he stuck it out and became a steady employee.
