I am currently working as a FO at a Part 135 cargo company in a twin turbine aircraft and I didn't fail the training program. My plan is to become a captain and gain some twin turbine PIC. Overall, my question is could I still get hired at a regional like EDV or one of the AA wholly owneds with these credentials and past training record? What are my chances of getting on with a major like Delta? I know that four failures is a lot however I am wondering if I still might have a chance at a good regional or even any major. Thank you in advance to any who respond
DAL chance is probably 0%, unless the industry really changes or you have some seriously epic aviation or whole-person credentials. As for the rest of the Big-6, you might have a shot eventually if you accumulate thousands of hours, years of experience, and multiple type ratings.
Relatively "good" regionals, yes after some 135 TPIC. AA wholly-owned? I don't know, I think they may have hard standards for number of busts, you should ask around to see if anyone can share specifics.
