Default Washing out.

This is a bit personal so I appologize.

I know this has probably been covered here before but I am currently hanging on by a string here at training and would like to know. If the worst were to happen and I was sent home, would other company's see that I have washed out? Will it show up on the Pria check even though I havn't been officially hired here yet?

The thing is I got really sick during training. I asked if I could go home and see a doctor. I was told that my health should come first but that if I did decide to that I would be resigning and would have to reapply in a year if I wanted to come back. They also told me that if I did leave that it would show on my record that I didn't finish/washed out and that it could jepordize any furture aviation related jobs.

I decided to stay and push through and have managed to pass everything until recently. I just now busted my 2nd stage check and have a meeting with the head of training. I am so worried and don't know what to do at this point.

These days, a washout won't kill your career - don't worry. If it really comes down to the worst, be up-front and honest at your next interview and don't worry. Best of luck!

What company if you dont mind saying.... I'd say just continue to do your best. If the worst happens.... accept it, and accept responsibility when you interview again and move on.

I seriously doubt it will show you washed out if you leave before training is complete. It happens all the time, people get better offers during training and leave before training is complete. Who is to say why you left, however given that you are at the point you are it's a hard call. It may be better that you resign for a "better offer", your reason for leaving is really none of the airlines business. Make this clear to them if need be, maybe even get a letter from an attorney if you think you need too. Not finishing training and "washing out" are two completely different things.

So are you saying you busted stage check #2 or you busted two of them in one training? If you've busted just one stage check keep going till the end. Try and get some extra time in the sims when you can.

i thought if they let you "resign" than it dosn't show up as you washed out.?.? Since he said he passed everything, I think he means the 2nd stage check in the course.

Stumbled upon your thread here... I would be VERY careful on assuming your record would not reflect the training washout. Regardless if you are "employed" or not yet, if you are training under FAR 135/121 and you fail a reportable event it could show up on a PRIA request. AQP programs and straight Appendix F programs will have different issues, bottom line is ask someone, in fact go to a FSDO and run a check on yourself after a while and see.

Like others here have said, be honest and upfront and it should not make much difference in today's entry level job market. Good luck !

I think you should be asking yourself why you really want to work for a company that treats you so poorly.

EDIT: Just read your post in another topic and realized you were at XJT. That sounds very uncharacteristic of the training department. A friend of mine from training also got very ill and had to go home for a couple weeks. They allowed him to return to training and join the class that was 2 weeks behind his. Either the climate in the training department has done a 180 or is there something else we should know?
