- - Two 121 failures...any chance with the big 6? (https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/career-questions/116569-two-121-failures-any-chance-big-6-a.html)

I have two 121 failures that were over 10 years ago now. I’ve got called by two of the big six with the events on my application. Only one asked about them and moved on with the interview. The other didn’t even care to ask about them.

My good friend also had two 121 busts. He forgot to put the O2 mask on while the CA was out of the flight deck and the fed up front busted him. He also failed his upgrade ride and had to go back to being an FO for a while. He’s a Delta now. So I think you have a chance. Perhaps talk with a consultant or two on how best to present the failures.

I agree with you. I definitely learned my lesson. I may be flying the skies over the Great Corn Sea in an RJ for the rest of my days because of it😄 Not that that is so terrible (I could be digging ditches somewhere), but to be so close to that dream job and unable to get there bothers me.
