I purposely avoided this thread for a long time, never opened it until a half hour ago and read the whole thing in one sitting. As a GA pilot about to make the jump to 121, I just didn't want to read about "washing out." At this point, the thread deserves a new title, like "hanging tough." From what I gather, you've pulled yourself back in the running and it's looking good. Congratulations.

Av8r, thank you for opening your heart and soul to us - I'm not saying I don't like to cheer each time someone posts that they've passed an IOE or something, but when I go into class knowing that it's not a guaranteed pass, I'll sure take things more seriously. Also, knowing that you can be behind the 8 ball and still make it - that's a good bit to know as well.

Best of luck as life goes on!
