So.. My question is , should I sell hot dogs at the ball park or newspapers on the side of the road?

Currently have 805 / 125 M.E Turbine
4 year degree in Aviation Management

I know what is killing me is 2 failed multi checkrides ( one on the instrument portion ) and one CFI Initial . Just venting . Good luck guys!

Keep your head up. Something will all in place for you. Nearly all of the regionals are hiring right now, but the one i work at. Keep your eyes open and things will fall your way. Unless your a total D-bag but I doubt that.

That will do it. Thanks Colgan for it.

You just need more time in my opinion. I have 2 failures and 1 speeding ticket and got interviews at Eagle and Mesaba with 1800/600. Just my $.02

Tough day. If it makes you feel any better, at around 10,000 TT and 8500 ME I expect a similar letter this week. Hang in there... It's a journey.

Everything happens for a reason.Something better may be in the future. :)

Keep flying and try again when you get to 1000 Total Time.

Also give TSA a shot (srs), if you can pass initial here you should be golden for the future.

I would guess that with your relatively low time and 2 failed checkrides a red flag pops up for HR..... It is basically reading: Captain will have to babysit right seater......

You may be a good overall pilot and just had a couple of bad days, but unfortunately you're up against guys with more time and less bad days....

Like everyone said, get past that 1,000 number. Things will be much easier by then. Just keep flyin'!

Honestly if you aren't too old you may want to considder switching to the ATC side. You will make more money and have better QOL, plus the experience you already have will do nothing but benefit you. Like it or not, gov't jobs are where it's at right now, especially if you don't think austerity is coming our way. But, if you're just hell-bent on taking it up the rear for the next 30 years try Commutair, they'll take anyone!
