Don’t blame the seat support or the Examiner.
Was this a professional seat support as in provided by the Training organization?
You are correct. I was laid off after getting my SIC type along with many other pilots in this company. I was later offered a job with another company that required a PIC type and they were going to pay for it. It's a great company and I think most people would do the same in my situation.
Yes, professional seat support. In fact, the seat support was my instructor. As I stated in another reply. I felt like it was pretty hardcore to bust me for that considering the rest of the ride went so well. But the examiner was well within his rights to do so. I don't blame anyone. That's not what this post is about. I'm asking how bad my situation is moving forward.
