My experience is AF veteran (didn’t fly. I did F16 engine maintenance) A&P license, part 107 license. 2800 hours of UAV/UAS experience in Afghanistan doing ISR missions. College graduate in aviation (magma cum laude) current regional CA. 3600tt and 715 TPIC all 121.
Busted my FO ATP oral as a new hire….I’ll admit I wasn’t prepared. The questions I got asked were very different than what the airline told us to study so I was caught off guard. Took it again 2 days later and it was fine. And 11 months ago as a downgraded FO I was pulled off a line check cause my medical was cut in half instead of folded. Got a new medical the next day. Seemed extreme but I pressed on.

My rec over there was just telling me he sent in 4 different applications for the same position as the windows opened. Any idea if this is what people are doing? Right now I just resubmit all the info to the one existing application.

Quick application question - regarding the section of Pilots Only : Accidents, Violations, etc... Is this asking about FAA violations / accidents or do they also want to know about driving history? It leads me to believe it is FAA only, but wondering if this would be a place to disclose anything that could be driver license related? Thanks in advance.
