And what I have seen and heard, Trans State is hiring like crazy. 2 classes per month and a longer training footprint with more sim training.

Have you thought about XJT? They have a 145 program and are AQP. Their training is good, as I have recently gone through it. It’s AQP and they’ll work with most people as long as they are putting in effort and have a good attitude.

Refresh my memory... Why are you so dead set on GoJet or Trans States?

I had failed my checkride at GoJet back in January. They said I would be welcome to reapply in 6 months. They messaged me a couple of days after I left to tell me the DO said to tell me yes definite re-reapply. I figured they were my best chance after having a checkride failure. I was really close just made some done mistakes but I was out of time.

Also I was a SkyWest the year prior and resigned from training because I was making slow progress in the sims I was very behind.

Harder than I realized going from little Cessnas to flying a CRJ.

I don't mean to sound uncaring, but this job isn't for everyone. Have you thought that maybe this isn't the job for you? I understand having a passion for flying but at some point, you have to decide if maybe there isn't a better option that isn't flying jets.

I appreciate his honesty and attitude. Best of luck, you’ll get there.

Have thought about that but not ready to give up just yet.

I’m a later in life career changer I gave up my good paying career to make 1/3 of what I was making

I may not make the airlines but there is still something out there for me I just need to find the right match

The days where you could not get hire after a check ride failure are long gone. Just be honest about it, apply everywhere you can and get your time going, then adjust to where you would like to end up.

He’s failed out of training at two regional outfits, doubt he gets a third shot.

This job isn’t for everyone. Doesn’t make him a bad person. Honestly, if he was making 3 times the money before why not just go back to that line of work?
