I've got the reverse of this situation. Flew for most of my 20 years and never busted a checkride until my ATP check 2 months prior to retirement. Bust was clean and entirely my fault, and not something likely to happen again. That said, what kind of penalty lap am I looking at? Friend told me to anticipate 3 to 7 years before a major will bite, if at all. Swinging gear at regional now, and curious how to manage expectations going forward.
