Single-engine, private pilot's license is pretty much all you need at most major airlines nowadays. That and your own set of diapers of course...

So how do we get on the other side. Is it a new scoring system or is it a only purple bullets.

The more senior you are the more you have the option to DH. Many DHs to ANC, some all the way to Asia or Europe to start the trip. Most trips with DHs are RFO trips.

Thanks for the intel! Not an easy decision.

Two questions:

A buddy told me that with more than one checkride busts you need not apply. True?

Second what's the trips typically like for newbs, mostly more than 4 days?

Two checkride busts are not disqualifying, but I would be ready to talk about them in the interview.

There is no typical. You could be on a 777 and get a 12 day trip (or 15 days of reserve in a row) if you could be on the 757 doing several sets of night hub turns.

Two questions on the app I was wondering if anyone had any insight on...

Did you ever fail a Flight Check-ride, Flight Evaluation or other portion of training or checking at this level?

What is at this level? Airlines? I only failed Commercial Single so just wondering if I should put that?

Were you ever enrolled in RAG/Aircraft Initial (AI) Training?

Im guessing thats military only and not Aircraft Initial as in a CRJ etc.
