The only other failure is my multiengine checkride. Thanks.
I failed a 121 Oral.
I thought it was total BS (it was).
Of course, I never said that, and took responsibility and moved on with my life. I drank a 12 pack that night afterwards. You get the idea...
I've since been hired at a major, and a couple other places.
The failure was 10 years ago, and have since been through three more 121 programs, a couple types, etc with nary a problem. It's a frustrating mark on my record, and it still rankles me to think about it. But can't change it.
Move forward. You'll have to create a better resume than others who will get hired before you doing less. Sucks. Part of this career.
