Default 4 Failed Primary training Checkrides.....

just failed my CFI-A on the flight portion



If I have a clean record from here on out including CFII, MEL and get myself to 135 operator and build my time, would I have a chance to make it to the regionals and major airlines?

I do have a bachelors degree in engineering and served in the Navy as an officer as well

I've been hearing from people that private check ride doesn't really matter and also CFI-A (because of the 80% fail rate)

but with that being said, I think 4 busts are a lot are a problem for private.

what do you guys think?

Any recruiters here would like to chime in?

Sort of kidding. Keep moving forward in the career if life and financials permit but you’re walking uphill in the snow in a pair of broken flip flops right now. Gonna be a long time before the pool of guys with the same ratings and hours without the black marks dry up.
