I'm 36. I've flown skydivers for the past 6 years.

Well, that explains part of why you are having difficulty with the training(attitude being the other issue). Do you have another source of income? I would think so.

Im sure you were debriefed when they asked you to leave. What did they tell you? Please do not say "I was told to go take the crj course", thats bs. Why are you having trouble?

My stomach turned reading this thread...

You are like the Fat Chick that can't sing that auditions for American Idol every year.

Mike Rowe has some good articles about when it's not smart to follow you're dreams. I suggest you read those.

Don't think a jet transition course is going to help you. Maaaaaaybe you should find a new career.

I had a incident back in 2004, I ran a 206 skydiving plane out of fuel. I landed in a field, and the gear collapsed. I did report this.

I'm guessing English is not the OP's first language.

Excuse me?

I hope you're a troll for the sake of the flying public and everyone who lives within the general vicinity of major airports and underneath jetroutes.

Uhm...

Yeah. No.

this is a fozjared level troll thread.....

Just so we can understand a little better, how far in to the sims did you make it? How did the IPT's go?

Really, what were the major issues that you had? I know that you said it was staying ahead of the airplane, but can you be a little more descriptive.

You obviously had a bad time of it, and maybe posting a little more about it will help others realize just what you need to be prepared for when you get a job with a regional airline.

The FAA didn't seek enforcement action. But yeah lesson learned from that.

I think the OP be trollin. Hence the screen name wannabedriver

What was the lesson? Planes don't fly on moonbeams and unicorn farts but require 100ll inside of the tanks?

At ExpressJet I was 6 sims in. I had trouble with PM duties, and supporting the PF. I would forget and get behind on my flows.

At PSA I had a terps issue. I had trouble correlating SOPs. For example on my last sim RVR was 1200 and I elected to continue the approach.

We used Avgas but yes. I changed my methods of checking for fuel

Yes, I've seen mine. You could order them directly from the FAA.

Turnaround times aren't the fastest, at least they weren't last time I ordered them for myself (5-7 years ago), but they are available.

Keep in mind, inconsistencies in one's pilot application and actual PRIA records are cause for termination at any point.

If you don't mind me asking, why do you think you were unsuccessful in passing initial training at two different companies?
If it was for personal reasons, did you have something going on in your personal life that was distracting you?
Just curious....

Please stop trying to fly airliners for a living. There are plenty of solo pilots jobs out there where you are less likely to kill anyone. Look in to ferrying airplanes.

Well, it seems as if this thread is filling up rather quickly, so I'll help with that and throw in my two cents worth, hoping this isn't troll bait. Every so often, the corporate world and the FAA have had a back to basics campaign when it's discovered that is exactly what is needed. If memory serves correctly, the FAA had their last back to basics emphasis about twenty years ago. And it was named exactly that.....BACK TO BASICS. I consider myself fortunate in that I had and old WWII Army Air Corps guy who had been a pilot/instructor. I got some great dual on basic instrument skills and looking back on it now, that was what got me through when I was lacking in other areas. Especially when I was very good friends with Johnnie Walker and his gang. Maybe an evaluation of basic instrument skills would be in order. And then there's an evaluation of basic life skills, like attitude, and such. And that may be much harder to detect and judge.

You know that line you were fed in school growing up? "You can be whatever you want when you grow up."

It is BS. You cannot be an airline pilot. Sorry. Life sucks. You're going to hurt/kill someone if you hold a 121 line flying position. Do you really want that on your conscience?

I think you meant 8710. ;)

If NOT trolling, how dumb is it to post all this information about your past training failures? Moreover, you're NOT asking the right questions of or to yourself. yeesh

Did you somehow hide that from the FAA too? No NTSB records of a 206 running out of fuel in 2004.

Nice to make your acquaintance golem!

I think this guy is Marvin's younger brother.

Pretty sure hes a wizard

Epic troll. What else do we need to know? You flew an aircraft into an office building but you NASA'd it?

Give me (and the rest of us) a break dude.

It was in Ethiopia bro.

This is clearly an entertainment thread. Kudos

I don't want to be mean but some people are just not meant to be pilots. If you've had trouble in training at 2 regionals (maybe 3), and you have an accident on your record, I find it difficult to believe you'd have no trouble during future recurrent sims and even sim training at the mainlines. Some might even call you a liability. You're the kind of person that would pull back on the stick and raise the flaps during a stall.

Man, this is just the wrong attitude. Do not hide anything, not even to Gojet!
They will find out and escort you to the door during training, even if they are totally desperate for pilots.
Just as everyone is saying here, own your shortcomings, disclose everything, explain lessons learned and they may hire you. That would be proof of honesty.

Folks, the reason PRIA was developed was this accident:

I think pretty much anybody could see the parallels. It's heartbreaking to tell somebody they aren't in the right profession, but this is a pretty serious business when it comes down to it.

Not heartbreaking at all if the attitude isnt there.

Dude you just don't get it… I am sure you will get a class date here, but if you could not get through training at Xjet or PSA you will not get through training here.. The PDT training department will eat you alive!

Sometimes the easiest interview isn't the best one for you. At the end of the day, you still have to cut the mustard. IMO, you should consider getting some more training, polish up on your ifr skills and maybe even a RJ transition course to see if you can bounce back. Most of all, you need to check your attitude at the door.

And after reading this, in some cases a quick upgrade may not be all that wise either.

I will absolutely 100% guarantee you, history will repeat itself with one of the quick upgrade regionals within the next couple of years. And it will not be good for any of us.

After a quick search of prior posts, WannaBe introduced himself as an 1800 hour CFI, then just a few minutes later posted that he doesn't have his CFI ratings and had washed out of training at XJet.
