When folks mention no training failures on here, are they talking about a 100% spotless training record or a spotless 121 training record? Could my part 61 issues be an issue at a major level?
Just my two cents but I think they do expect a spotless record for top tier folks. That is not to say you won't get an interview or get hired but you need to be able to talk about the failures, admit them and tell what you learned. All the interview prep companies are really good at helping you frame the story correctly. Definitely don't hide it and be ready to discuss it.
