How long have you been in the 121 world? A bust doesn't matter to many.... A history does..... Someone can have a bad day.... Guess not everyone is you..... And to correlate this person to Colgan is just an insult to him and many...... Have some class....
By the way.... I know a guy who busted two 121 PCs.... Maybe more in a previous life.... FO and no TPIC..... Hired at USairways..... Then quit a few moths back and in this same year UAL hired him...... Guess it must really have hurt his chances....
Also just confirmed a formee gojets DUI guy got on with one of the above too..... Not saying I'd want either on my records but for AE to turn their nose to a PPL oral bust or a CSEL practical bust says more about AE then an applicant...... No ones perfect.
