I approached it with the wrong study habits of two months prior studying and made quite a bid of mistakes. I didn't complete the MV on time. But finished it the following day. Then failed the Knowledge Validation (KV). Retook it and passed the following day. Then was the LOE where we get two attempts. I failed both attempts from pretty bad mistakes and LOE was also an unsatisfactory. So incomplete MV (non PRIA event), and failed KV & LOE (both are in PRIA records) all in one recurrency event. And I was asked to resign after that. So . . . . oops! That was definitely the worst slip in my airline career I ever made and it's possible that my events may not be forgiven.

I just submitted my application to Envoy hoping for a continuation after learning from my huge mistake and know the much better routine of staying prepared. Envoy would be Awesome for me as the ERJ-170 is my recent experience. Despite being a high time FO and above qualification for Captain upgrade (over 2600 hours in Part 121 time), I think i'm the one that shall continue to face TBNT's now from just about all the carriers now. Certainly in bad shape after the wrong approach to studying and preparing for recurrency at Republic. All I can do is just wait and see what they say when they review my app. Fingers crossed!
You can get through this. It's ok to take an honest step back and consider where you're at and why this mistake happened. What did you do before ExpressJet? If you don't have your CFI, consider getting it, CFII and MEI. Instructors are needed...
