start a thread that says "thank you flight XXXX for blinding me with your strobes as you rotated last night" and you'll be even more shocked :D |
Just be honest people.

Sounding like an excuse may not be what makes it worse in that case. Wondering about poor judgement may. The interviewer's thought process could turn to: "would he still come in to work a flight in that situation if he did it for a checkride?"

I had the exact same thought, but then the learning point would have been he learned NOT to be complacent in such situations and to say 'enough' when the limit has been reached instead of trying to tough it out.
IMO it would be OK to discuss such a situation as long as you parlay that into a lesson learned. But don't make up a bogus sob-story that might get exposed for what it is... |

If all the 4/5 bust guys are locked out of jobs (like they usually are), then that doesn't bode well for all the pilot error related incidents/accidents. In theory, all those guys/gals were "clean" in the eyes of the almighty HR department :rolleyes:

I failed my CFI ride twice; the most subjective checkride out there. That makes me a bad pilot because of it? I should just give up because of it? A lot of ridiculous crap comes out of peoples mouths sometimes. Saying 4 checkride busts is a career ender and that someone just isn't cut out for the job is remarkably stupid. BUT that is the crap people like this have been force feed by the media and HR, so I really can't fault them.

It kind of defeats your purpose to point out a leading post just to make your own similarly leading post :confused: |

If you want to make likewise ridiculous comments like that then you might as well admit that if the 4 or 5 checkride bust pilots were flying in great numbers at the airlines then we would obviously have a much higher accident rate then right?
