No simple answer as we hire pilots from literally every possible background one could imagine. Men and women, young and old, white, black, grey, different nationalities, military, civilian and/or mixed backgrounds. Heavy jet operators (Emirates, Atlas, Kalitta, etc.), regional pilots (Republic, Skywest, etc.) or §135/91 pilots who flew long-range private jets (Gulfstream 650s, Falconjets,..) etc., etc., etc...
You are asking “should I reapply”? Well, a much better question would’ve been -
‘will you ever get hired if you don’t?’
Have you ever been turned down before? Guess what, many of us have. You’re not the first one nor will you be the last one.
Timing, luck but most of all, perseverance is how many of us got where we wanted to be.
One thing is certain - if you simply give up you’ll always regret it because you’ll always wonder if you’d have succeeded at some point?
Search our threads and you’ll find numerous stories from guys and gals who were rejected. Many over and over again but they kept trying. Many of them wear our uniforms today. Not all of them. Some ended up elsewhere BUT they kept trying and today they’re content knowing they tried their best.
If your user name implies your age you’ve got all kinds of time ahead of you.
Without knowing any specifics of your career it’s hard to give you advice. However,
YES, you should re-apply.
Good luck to you!!
PS. My reply is meant for all of you who tried but didn’t make it. NEVER GIVE UP!
Wish you all the best!!!
