My question is this: Am I simply not marketable at the legacy/SWA/FDX level due to the pt. 61 failures? Should I change my aim to the LCC's and be at peace with my station in life?
Thank you!
Southwest is a LCC ... but 3 primary training failures shouldn’t stop you from going anywhere you want . But you could potentially be leaving a lot of money on the table, by holding out for a specific airline to call . Plenty of money to be made at non legacy and Fedex and UPS.
