Also, be prepared how to answer it in an interview.

When I went through Navy UPT in the late 80s, we had lots of guy wash out. Many went to other sevices or went to time building jobs and continued to fly. Sometimes budget considerations force the sevices to RIF (Reduction in Forces). When this happens the standards are changed in flight school so more guys wash.. That's what happened to the guys I knew.

So hypothetically speaking.....

Let's say a guy washed out of a military flight program. Does this effectively kill his/her chances of working for a major airline?

Thanks,

I know a guy who had his Navy wings taken by a field review board. Six months later he was at CAL. (the year was 1982, though) Bottom line is that there are no hard and fast rules.
