Initial ATP
 

How tough would it be to get onto Alaska with a previous initial atp pt121 checkride fail? Passed 2 days later and had no previous other issues or other issues Including IOE. Would this severely limit my chances in the long run? Targeting Alaska Airlines since I’d ideally like to return to the PNW area.

Depends on how long “in the long run” is and how well you progress during that time. Most majors are a little more understanding of FAA certificate failures than they are of 121 failures though. By that point you generally HAVE those certificates and are actually getting PAID to study and being trained by a company that WANTS you to pass.

This certainly isn’t any career killer but I’d sure avoid any sort of further glitch. While it’s hard to extrapolate from a single point, two points define a line and it won’t point in a direction most HR departments will be happy with.

Just be able to explain what happened and what you learned. That's absolutely not a deal breaker, but it's all in how you deliver it. Make sure you own it, and be able to talk about how it has positively changed you and made you a better pilot. Good luck, and don't let it stop you!!!

Thanks for posting. Any idea of the ages of the most junior in class and what they picked?

Oh, I don’t think the junior pilot “picked” anything. They “got” the A320...;)

Are there any class dates slated for October or November?

Ok so 737 is going first. Do you know if the plug is going to SFO or LAX on the A320?
