Ghilis, it absolutely goes without saying that one must be experienced to secure an interview. All I was implying is that you need not fit a specific mold, as an experienced pilot, to be attractive to an airline. For example, I know of non military pilots, with relatively average GPAs get hired anyway. But they had other things to offer, while being very experienced in their flight time of course. No?

I know strange question but based on some of the recent posts I'm curious if anyone that is single with no kids has been hired? (You know all the different matrix's out there that they're using because they can)
