Hey guys,
About 2 years ago, I unsat a recurrent ride (sadly it was on NFP duties). Specifically, I was unsat because I didn't pull out the performance chart data on a go around for hold speeds, and instead used 200 knots (the limiting holding speed for our altitude). I also screwed up when I programmed an arrival by not doing it from the transition (which I promptly corrected) and I missed turning the landing lights off on the go-around checklist.
Normally, I would consider these debrief items, but -- it is what it is. The fact of the matter is I was rusty (hadn't flown 90 days prior due to being on FMLA), and that is all there is to it.
Anyways, since then I have successfully completed an ATP / Type ride (jet) and have never had a failure either prior to or after that event.
Unfortunately things got so bad while I was waiting for a retrain that I had to end up resigning (trying to take care of a terminally ill family member), so I didn't have the opportunity to retrain to proficiency (we were backlogged almost three weeks due to the amount of unsats that were happening).
My question is: How badly do you think this failure is going to impact my career? As I stated earlier, this bust was my only bust, but it was a 121 PC recurrent bust, so I know that's pretty serious.
Does the fact that I managed an ATP / Type ride since then matter? Do you guys think I will ever have a chance at a major? What about corporate?
Thanks in advance for your response.
JJ
