"If you've ever failed a check-ride, don't waste your time with this airline. You'll walk into Dallas, they'll ask everyone in the room if they've failed a check-ride, and if so, they'll tell you to get out. (06/23/10)"

Thanks guys

I busted my commercial SEL ride 5 years ago and got hired.

This is from an AA safety intern: "if you've busted 2 or more, you're not getting the job".

This is from someone who actually conducts hiring interview:
question asked "what is it you guys are actually looking for?"
answered by hiring guy: "do you get along with all of your classmates?...there you go"


1 bust, and a solid, trainable, friendly candidate...you're fine

1 bust and something otherwise glaring with ATTENTION TO DETAIL, paperwork, instructions, personality...

not so fine

good luck!

Andy,

I have no busted checkrides ever...

Just an accident with absolutely no violation, investigation etc... 20 years ago.

accident = no job,,, regardless

The worst part as I said, HR wasn't sharp enough to read the paperwork before inviting me.

I attempted to make a joke regarding not paying attention to details, unfortunately I failed miserably !
