My advice is to put your resume back out there and go for it. The regionals are going to be dying for pilots over the next few years. Just be yourself and be honest. Good luck!
It was the way of the company. They took two trainies, and when one trainee was flying, the other trainee was acting as captain. It was explained to us that during the checkrides, that if the PNF was not doing the job correctly (call outs, etc) then they would be removed from the sim, and the check airman would step in and be the PNF, well that never happened.
My sim partner went through the checkride first, and the person did horrible, and busted. I asked the check airman to remove my sim partner, as I did not think they were up being the PNF, and I was told no, and I would have to deal with it. Well as everyone knows after you bust a ride, you game is not 100% in it anymore, and that was exactly the case.
Both my sim partner and myself were expelled from training the next day after talking to management.
