No airline hiring board cares about your CFI failures. I have friends with nothing spectacular on their resume that have 3 primary failures and got hired at Delta. Another friend who failed recurrent at his 121 airline who is at FedEx. It's not that you fail, it's how you respond to those failures.

This is what Colgan was all about. Lack of basic airmanship.

Do present certificate holder selection, monitoring, safety assurance & control methods warrant a decreased log hour threshold? Can flight ops oversight through crushing budget pressures be relied upon? Will regulators intervene on their behalf when necessary? Walking back from another low experience, contributing factor hull loss, who volunteers to answer the relentless I told you so's?

Is it unfortunate? I guess that depends if weigh the two differently. Do you want meat in the seat that can fly the perfect ILS and execute stall recoveries by the book or do you want someone with knowledge or do you want both?
