Most likely, It’s going to be a challenge going anywhere with 4... You’re going to have to convince the panel exactly what you’ve learned from those mistakes and how you’ll be able to get through training. And if you’re planning on a LCC or Major in the future without a flow.. they’ll want to see years of successful training events with those kinds of issues in primary training. Hope it helps & not meant to be negative.

Private, one of the Commercial add ons and your initial CFI makes 3.
Private - nervous, first checkride
Commercial - one of the maneuvers unsat
Initial CFI - very common fail.

That’s three you can explain away.
> 4 makes it difficult.
Now you’re talking multiple fails same ride or you failed every one including CFII/MEI/ATP.

just apply and see what happens. Although, if you ever want a job past the regionals you really need to buckle down and make sure you don’t ding any more.

It may be a harsh reality, but with four check ride busts isn't going past the regionals (esp. to a major) a ship that has already sailed?

Depends on what certificates failure. If you have 4 fails there is a solution. Get your bachelors degree, get some king air time especially turbine PIC. Have your CFI,CFII and MEI. Get more experience as much as you can. Don’t be like some people scared to do CFI because it’s difficult, B.S. all of this will help.

How about someplace like Piedmont? A wholly owned might be your best shot at a major, and Piedmont sounds like they have near-empty classes.

My homie with 5 failures got on here. He was a cadet which probably helps. Not the end of the world in these times.
