Ah... fatalism at its best...
You obtain all the required ratings and experience; you network and establish relationships as required in this business. Eventually you apply and are granted an interview. You seek the advice of professional interview/sim prep services and nail the interview. This I call preparation meeting opportunity. Others call it "luck".
You're off the mark a bit. It's not that individuals don't put themselves in the right place with the right credentials knowing the right people....
What they can't control is if 9 months after they are hired, terrorists commandeer 4 airliners.
What the can't control is skyrocketing oil prices.
What the can't control is the Airline CEO revolving door, management greed and/or incompetence.
I agree with you that you can make all the right moves in life. You can put yourself in the RIGHT POSITION to be lucky (if you will)... but I really like this quote... and its various derivatives.
"Be granted the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and to have the wisdom to know the difference."
Sincerely,
