i agree that with the times changing here in the next year or two.... 1-2 checkride busts won't be a problem. I busted my CFI initial with the feds and then 3 days later greased it... a good learning process that i don't really regret.

If eagle doesn't want me because of some piece of paper that does NOT show what kind of pilot i really am... screw em, i don't want to fly for them anyways
