Take your job seriously, study, have a good attitude (even after a bust). You will do just fine. There are plenty of guys that have busted probie rides and plenty of them are still here.
+1, I know of 4 people recently, 2 busted the oral, 1 busted the ride, and 1 had out of date jepps, all were sent home at that moment, and were paid training pay to sit at home for a month. All 4 went back, had dumb dumb training, and passed. Just make sure you avoid someone whose last name ticks with an A!
