A whole lot of you have been cynical, negative, and somewhat nasty, including one who suggested I would need a "psych eval," lol. LOL indeed.
Again, as a broken record, to the person suggesting a "psych eval," I'm very sure your are at not a pilot at a major airline, and you will never be. The early screening systems of most major airlines (except maybe Allegiant or Spirit) would screen you out so quickly that your head would spin, and you would have no chance, except for, again, maybe Allegiant or Spirit. Have a good time at those two places. Have a good time, indeed, Mr. Psychologist/Psychiatrist.
Good luck!
Again, you don't have the experience in this industry. The "psych evals" of which you speak with such reverence are primarily "personality evals". They are intended to find good "fits", which as far as the company is concerned probably means people who will be content and not fight to hard or long at contract time. Plenty of obviously good dudes, with families and extensive aviation experience, get left in the ditch after said "psych evals".
