I really have wanted to be an airline pilot as long as I can remember but I know there are tons of applicants with squeaky clean records. I've barely flown since the violation because I am assuming it was a career ender. What do you all think? Also, thanks for all your past posts I've enjoyed reading them.
Oh please....... don't be a pansy
People make mistakes. People learn from mistakes. You probably got lost, that's a mistake. You probably learned from it. If you decide to pursue a flying career, you should not have any trouble.......
When they ask you about it during the interview, and they will, just tell them the story and how you learned from it. Throw in a "Lets just say my students were the best 20 hours of flight time navigators in the country."
