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

Im guessing thats military only and not Aircraft Initial as in a CRJ etc.
Question 19 on the "questionnaire" portion is the only one I could find that is about checkride failure. Is this the one you're talking about?

Yes, list your failed Commercial Single. Be able to explain why and what you did to overcome it.

Just found it. I think it's a follow on question regarding squadron level flight under the military training section.

If he wasn't being compensated professionally at the time of the failure then I would answer no to that question.

FedEx Management keeps a LOT of stuff secret.

One thing that's never been a secret is that if they catch you lying THEY WILL FIRE YOU! You might not get an opportunity to remove your belongings from your crashpad. That's a really bad position to be in during your probation year.

Personally, I'd be inclined to list it and be able to explain it than worry about it for a very long time. This might be a good question to pay Albief15 for his professional opinion and advise.

Good luck.

I think you just answered your own question.

Yeah, this probably applies to most airlines. There are no statutes of limitations on lying. I'd say leaving out important details such as failed checkrides, be it single engine only or not, could be interpreted as such...
Fess up, tell them how you learned from it and move on...

I realize the OP just wanted to fill out the application correctly but I'm amazed pilots nowadays will even ask these kind of questions? I'm either getting old or the new generation of aviators have a very different mindset... ..or both..

I had a bust - my first type ride. I got hired.

Nobody's perfect.

It's not that complicated.

If in doubt, list it.

What matters is not the failure, but how you take ownership and responsibility.

If you can't understand that, then perhaps you are not suited for the job.

I didn't mean to dispute listing it I just didn't know what to list such as part 141 stage checks which aren't checkrides. Question 19 I believe pertains to being paid to do training failures such as part 121/135. I list anything and everything on my apps, rather not get the interview than get it and know I'm not suppose to be there.i was just curious what the "at this level" means ha
