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!

Thanks, it's true life does go on. Plus I know this will sound cheesy, but its not just about us. We have a large responibility to the passengers and crew in the back. I wouldn't want a loved one riding on a plane with a pilot who just squeeked by.
Go to training not just prepared mentally. Make sure your health, finances, familily, etc are in order. A good company like mine will work with you the best they can but there is only so much they can do. Don't think of it as a job offer but a continued interview and you will do fine.
