So if you overshot your landing, and you think that was contributing factor for your failed checkride, I would suggest, that you go over your entire checkride event, and find out way you have been pink "sliped". Good luck in your future aviation endeavors. ;-)
And Again, my point is not about the failed check. The point is about ASA not hiring anyone who has ever failed a check. Please read the thread. And since we are giving out resumes, I've been flying for 25 years and have been both a 121 Check, and a military examiner. Please don't read between the lines.
You have some very good points, but are totally off base with what I'm trying to say.
Let me try this again. This new hiring criteria seems to be centered around the Dash 8 in Buffalo. And now because of this unfortunate accident, the knee jerk reaction is to not hire anyone who has failed a checkride. My original threadjack was that good pilots fail checkrides - as you know.
So lets start on new thread on failed checks and leave this thread to ASA pilot hiring. Thanks
