Welcome to the club Rusty!! Only I got a full fledged failure.

http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/sh...sted+checkride

Check your PRIA records. If there is no failure listed then you you can answer honestly, "I never failed a checkride." However, as someone else said, if you are asked if you did not complete training, you would have to answer yes.

Eitherway, it sucks. And it is a big stike against you. But YOU ARE NOT OUT! There are folks like Marcal who will say you should never fly pax (guess flying a 74 filled with boxes is okay), I say nuts to them! Take a long, hard, honest look at why you failed and figure out how be successful next time.

Don't be supprized if you don't get interviews/offers for a while. You may have to go back to whatever you were doing before. Can't go back? Find ANY flying job you can (pipeline patrol, fish spotting, hauling checks, anything), but keep flying. And keep applying! Look into those "evil bottom feeders" that so many folks bash: they may not be eden, but they are 121 and could give you a chance to prove yourself.

Suck it up, grit your teeth, and get back in there!!!
