Now have a gold seal CFI with a 95% pass rate. Yes I did bust a few check rides but I learned a heck of a lot. I now have an ATP 2500tt 1000 multi. I fly a Baron corp part 91. I have a lot of single pilot time in IFR. So am I unhireable at a regional?
Now? No. But with those numbers, they would have probably made you chief pilot during the last hiring wave. It's all about timing in this business.
