1. Single Engine Add On Rating to Commercial Certificate
- Didn't add full flaps on a short field landing, landed long.
2. CFI first attempt
- Preflight was not detailed enough. I readily admit that if it was with a student it would have been unprofessional, plain and simple.
3. CFI second attempt
- Steep turns I performed were not within ACS and I did not admit it during the ride.
I thank you and welcome both your questions and criticism.

It could end up being a dice roll and depend how bad the pilot shortage gets for some companies.
Currently there are still regionals that won’t hire folks won’t more than two checkride failures. Your best bet is to put distance time wise between you and those failures and have a successful part 121 flying career, gathering as many quals/ application box checks as you can.
Your best bet currently will be to go to one of the AA Wholly Owned regionals with a flow and working hard to get hired on by a major from there.
