I have 2 failed checkrides and thought I was screwed but still made it known to them. I know it sucks not to get the job but you have to be absolutely forthcoming on the next one. Just bring it up and let them decide. Then if they don't hire you be ticked.
See thats the thing, i did disclose it. I didn't try to hide it at all. I explained exactly what happened, and that the case was closed.
I just can't see how a warning letter can be that big of a deal. A violation, accident, or incident, big deal yes.
I think my point is, if this whole hiring boom takes place, and they are rejecting guys because they have a warning letter on their record, are the airlines going to have to revert to 500 hr. wonders again?
Ask any captain at a regional that has been there for more than 5 years If he would rather fly with a 500 hr. wonder, or a 1500 hr pilot that got a warning letter.
