What about 1 failure (oral portion)?

Stryker 08-24-2011 08:08 AM

Most people have at least one failure. They just don't want a pattern of them. But it's not just about failures, it's the whole picture. You need to take into account speeding tickets, incidents with law enforcement, and other issues.

Well, Stryker besides the 1 oral failure, 2 traffic tickets in 12 years (1 for taking a shortcut, the other for 10mph over speed limit 40 in a 30 at night...)
That's all the negatives. Both tickets were "remediated" with traffic school, but I will disclose them (one of them appears on my record with the traffic class anyways).
Do you think this is too bad for Eagle. I mean, you must really be lucky not to have a couple traffic tickets in 10 years!

No you should be ok. I had 2 tickets but both were over 5 years ago so they were no longer on my record. It's a good idea to disclose them anyways. They seemed to appreciate my honesty even though I didn't have to. From what I've heard 3 tickets still on your record is the disqualifying number.

Just put the app in and relax. It sounds like you have the same issues that most of us do, and i assure you that you still have as good a chance as any.

Just submitted my app. Immediately received the automatic response "tak you for your interest....bla bla..."
So typically, what's the timeframe for them to review it? Weeks, months?

FWIW, I submitted mine on 12th July, only got 2 automated responses.
Nothing since then....

It can takes weeks, it can take months, it can take a year...keep updating every week.

Some people get a response immediatly or within 1-2 weeks.....

So, does someone know what is the criteria....

Where do you get this stuff? No, most people do not have at least one failure. Most have none. If most were failing they would change the training program to correct the deficiency.

In fact if the training centers do not maintain over an 80% pass rate they lose their certification. So, by definition, most do NOT have failures.

I think he meant most FO applicants have at least 1 failure. I don't see any reference to a specific training center.
