They report sim records? has anyone ever received a copy of their pria with the sim records on it?...I was told sim records are company records.

Own up to it. Get more experience, and go knock it out.

"I had personal issues, and (excuse, excuse)....."

vs.

"I underestimated what it would take, could not keep up, went back and got more experience, the same company let me return (and pass). Learned from the experience..exc...exc"

Either way it's on the PRIA and pilot work history, interview damage control from here on out.

Dont worry about it. Like everyone has said, turn this into a positive. I would also reccommend possibly going with a company that operates a slower type of aircraft; ie saab, dash 8.

Ouch. 2 is not good. I have to be honest. Lots of luck.

FaceBiter 12-05-2014 09:21 AM

Ouch, just read this is number two.

Honestly, it kinda sounds like you're trying to weasel out of the fact that you washed out of training being discovered in your work history/PRIA/whatever.

This should also serve as a cautionary tale to the CFI types out there getting cold called with class dates from regionals.

If you go to a CRJ course and come back in a timely manner then no it wont be a failure, it will be an interruption. If you don't then it is a failure.

ELOHEL. Let's be honest here.... isn't this the type of thing PRIA was designed to detect?

If you can't handle a crj you're gonna get your a$$ handed to you in a dash, not very good advice my friend.

Here is a couple of things to consider. These may seem kind of contradictory but its just food for thought.

1.) If it doesn't make it into your PRIA records, you could consider just not listing PSA as a former employer on an application. You were only there a few weeks.

2.) Even if it doesn't make it on to your PRIA records, I suppose its all in how your next employer asks the question. If they simply ask "have you ever failed a checkride" then you can answer no. But if they ask it like "have you ever failed a checkride, dropped out of training, or been terminated or asked to leave a flying job" then you might have to fess up, assuming of course there is something on your record to report.

I don't know what the requirements are for airline employers but my guess is the FAA will want them to report quickly so the information is available to the next employer. But, in the end, if there is nothing on your record to report, I would not report it.

Setting all that aside for a moment, maybe milkman above is correct and you should consider a carrier that flies turboprops.
