I know someone that has all the hours, proper credentials to be a pilot, he has credentials to fly 737s and A320s, and he has never failed a test. He applied to over 70 airlines (major, regional, corporate, anything in the US) he had people in the industry review his resume. He can't get hired. He is a flight instructor and operates tourist flights but wants to fly larger planes. If there is a pilot shortage, why is no one willing to hire him?
Something about this seems off. There is a pilot shortage. Are you saying this person is type rated on a 737 and a 320 and can't find a job? How much experience do they have on type?
He has over 1500 hours of total flying time.
