When folks mention no training failures on here, are they talking about a 100% spotless training record or a spotless 121 training record? Could my part 61 issues be an issue at a major level?
If you have a spotless p.121 record including captain upgrade, I don't think you have anything to worry about. The days of only tier 1 candidates getting calls is over.

I had 2 Part 141 stage check failures that were for certificate action. (Multi/Commercial and CFI). I know there's always been a debate as whether that constitutes as an actual check ride failure with the 141 vs 61 thing but I chose to disclose them anyway. I was hired at UA and was never asked about them, even though I was prepared to talk about what I learned....

Thanks for the encouragement. I 100% disclose everything, and I'm not afraid to take fault for what happened.

Delta cjo on 31 July. From that week 11/11 Tue.,7/9 Wed, 5/7 Thu (my group). Tit bit. Head of pilot selection said the tests were averaged to decide pass fail. First time I heard that. So a great cog can pull up a mediocre gk. if the number on the screen of the gk was any indicator there are around 2800 questions in the data bank. Hard to prep for that. I was disappointed in the Everything Explained book. Another guy used the Turbin Pilots Flight Manual, said it was better.
They did tell us that two sims are down and it may be the first of the year for a class date.

Congrats on the new job!! For reference, what kind of quals did you have? Mil, TPIC, degree, etc?

Awesome news, what were you flying recently?....I'm 91/135 as well, thought that made me undesirable, this gives me hope. I have similar quals, but with a 4 yr degree.

Hey LibertyPilot, more recently I have been flying a Lear 31. They seem to tailor the interview questions based on your resume/application, asked a few customer service questions for the TMAAT. Which of course in the corporate world we have lots of answers for! Many of my former colleagues from CitaitonShares have been hired with similar quals because they know how important the customer service is. Was an amazing experience.
