Oh Johnny, we let you fly our planes? I know of at least two individuals whom were in an upgrade class right before we downgraded and furloughed the last bunch. They were not recommend for their checkrides, due to the fact mgt knew we were about to downgrade some.

Regardless of how you look at it, you get your initial attempt that means you get two chances during that upgrade attempt. At which point you can accept 6 months later, and have your third attempt at passing your Captain Upgrade PC. So that would make a total of 3 attempts? I know its complex math, and many at PSA do not even have college degrees; but even without one you should be able to do that math.
