Just the failure.

But if they do a FOIA I'm pretty sure they'll get a copy of the pink slip which will specify the unsat areas. It would be very risky to lie about it, many airlines will FOIA your FAA records, which gives them pretty much everything there, in addition to what PRIA would return. Exclusion for personal info such as medical data.

You should FOIA your own FAA records to see what will show up. My discontinuance letter was included, and I'm 99% sure a pink slip would too.

No chance, pilots need to be perfect human beings that can never fail a single task in their entire lives. You should have been a Boy Scout growing up, Varsity quarterback in high school who turned down a scholarship to USC so you could go to the Naval Academy. Then became a fighter pilot who ran marathons and saved puppies on weekends. All this while never, not once failing at anything you did. Only if you have done all that and are now a good regional puppet will you have even just a shot of hope to getting on with one of the big 3...

Mistakes happen, you learned from them and if you keep a good attitude things will work out. Best of luck

When I was growing up in the 80's and 90's that's what was told to me and I actually believed it... which is why I didn't do this as my first career. And then I started meeting people and finding out it wasn't true.

Anyone who “actually believes” such an absurd thing should not become a pilot anyway, due to an unsafe level of gullibility. Luckily, you wised up in time.

5 checkride fails won’t help.
That’s sure as apple pie.

Three. Filler.

Thanks again for the advice on the AA wholly owned regionals. In that vein - what about Endeavor? Or, would Delta eventually say "TBNT" during the DGI process?

Well, now that it's been a few years, I'm curious. How did things pan out?

It is quite a different hiring market today compared to 2018. Three busts with none recent, addressed properly at an interview, and some regional TPIC should not be a show-stopper or even much of a speed-pump.
