Wash out?
 

Am I considered a washout if I did not get signed off for my checkride? Here's the story. My sim instructor suggested that I was in need of more sim sessions before I get signed off for the type ride and put in a recommendation to the head of flight training. The sim got the best of me and I was behind it majority of the time. If I got 2-3 more sim sessions, I could have corrected it. Anyways, I got sent home waiting for a call from the head of flt. training and a few days later, I was asked to resign due to the availability of sim schedule being backed up. So does that mean, I'm considered a washout? I didn't even get to take the oral...

In all honesty, it doesn't take much to be ready for a checkride in the allocated sims at an airline. If you can't do it, do you really think you should be flying around paying pax? I don't.

I guess it depends on how they record it in your training record. It kind of sounds like they're being nice by asking you to resign.

The bigger question is what are you going to say at future interviews when they ask "so, what were you doing before this? Why did you leave?"

What do I say? O_o

Don't let haters(marcel) get you down everyone has a bad day hopefully you will get another shot don't screw it up next time. Try your best to plead your case as much as possible if you get a chance.

What airline was this at?

Other companies might understand depending on the training reputation of your carrier.

Yep..........

What regional and what issues in the sim?

My understanding is that if you resign, it doesn't go into the PRIA records. They did you a favor. Being terminated is another story - that shows up at your next gig.

Most majors and the like that I have applied ask "Have you ever failed to complete a traning course?" In this case you will have to explain it.

This is for lack of better words, BS. Don't let anyone tell you this crap. Some people take longer than others and it is also says something for the training you received. Don't let some yahoo on an internet board tell you that you can't be a pilot. There are very few pilots that don't fail a ride sooner or later.
