Worst feeling in the world! Anywho, did some recurrent training with the FAA, my chief pilot, and after 2 years my record is clean as a whistle. I was still able to get an airline job with this on my record so it isn't a complete career killer. Just be open and up front with it in a interview and talk about what you learned from it. Now......I check that F'in gear a hundred times before every landing.
my little gear incident was also in a PA44...and you'll probably agree with me...never again will you land uneventfully and not be a little relieved that everything went okay...
