The other guys have had simular experiances, and these airlines are hiring guys far less qualified otherwise. Maybe any people on here who havent made it through a 121ground school can say what they did, id like to know.

Im not saying none of them will hire you if you dont make it through training, but it looks like it can throw a serious monkey wrench in you career if you dont pass.

I think its a very important thing is to choose an airline with a good training department.
