Default Airline App Question

I'm filling out airline apps and I ran into this question. Have you withdrawn or failed to successfully complete any part 135 or part 121 training course?


I work for MartineAir, a 135 company, and durning initial training I resigned on my own terms after indoc due to personal family issues and a unpredicted surplus of pilots. I returned a few months later, and in doing so I received better base and equipment options. Upon returning, I successfully passed all check rides and line checks.

Can I answer the above question with a "no" since I technically came back to finish training?

I would answer "yes" since you technically withdrew from training. The circumstances can be readily explained and the fact that you returned and finished a few months later should alleviate any concerns about your trainability. It would be good if you have documentation of the family issues (obituary, divorce decree, etc).

Will checking the "yes" box delay your getting called for an interview at a major? Probably, but that's better than getting fired during indoc because they found about about your employment discrepency...which should show up via PRIA.

You have to put "YES" for that question. When you fill in the explanation box state exactly what happened. If it is clearly stated the recruiter will understand your situation.

Do not lie on your application. They can terminate you at any time if they find out you lied. Remember to be honest on all parts of your application.

^^^^Both of the above. This sort of thing happens all of the time, sometimes because the pilot just isn't ready, and other times because of a legit issue such as a death, birth, etc. Don't worry about it.

Thanks guys. But what if the app or interview process doesn't bring this up? Should I still tell them?
