Good luck.

Good luck.

I've personally seen high-time resumes go into the round-file. I think they do not want to hire guys who they think are going to leave soon. Obviously, there is no where to go right now, but I would wager that they still have this mentality.

I heard there is a 70% washout rate in ground school. Would that be because of lower time guys getting into airplanes over their head and hand flying it or guys that are used to pushing buttons and watching the airplane fly itself?
My buddy I was referring to who was hired by GLA just washed out.

Well dont know how true this is but my buddy said they set you up in the sim doing and NDB app then engine faliure, collecting ice, boots dont work and you have minimum fuel. Those are the scenarios they throw at you. Like i said though I'm not sure how true this is.
Are there any Lakers out there who can validate this? I have to be honest though, the high wash rate kinda intrigues me in the sense "am I good enough" to make it.
