That's the problem...it will appear as though SKW decided that you were not suitable pilot material thanks to that arbitrary policy.
If the pilot shortage materializes, you might still have a shot at a major if you want.
That policy was a case-study in unintended consequences...it was intended to light a fire under a few spikey-haired entitlement generation punks who didn't take the job seriously, which was probably a good cause. But it put a tremendous amount of power in the hands of training instructors, who are only human and far from objective in every case.
It didn't help that you went jet-bro, as I can attest to as well.
