I'm not sure what I'm wrong about, I agree with you list everything. When I said I don't think they care I meant list it but I don't think that would kill your chances of getting a interview.

As stated several pages ago, the reading comprehension of some of these guys is next to nil. Some people just love arguing and always being right.

Ok, sorry, my bad. Let me rephrase;

Will it stop you from being selected for interview? Nope, not one bit. IN FACT, it's pretty amazing what some people do have that still get an interview.

However, if there is a fail/unsat, that have you listed on your app and the CA interviewing you uses the tactic on his opening salvo of "so, you had a fail/unsat early on, tell me what happened?"

If you say something like "well, that was 13 years ago, all you should care about is airline stuff and airline history".

Then it MOST CERTAINLY DOES MATTER.

And as stated previously if your attitude in real time is anything like your online attitude you are going to have a very rough time in an interview.

Right but my point was with regards to getting the interview I've been told it doesn't matter by a pilot recruiter, what your response to question once in the interview will matter as you say.

No sir it is not I can assure you. I just gave up patience with what is lost in translation on these message boards. If I'm lucky enough to sling gear for you at United one day you'd see different. Happy New Year.

Best of luck to you boi....

Nothing was lost in translation or reading comprehension. If you were to walk into an interview and state that you had "3 or maybe 4" check ride failures you are already done. You need to present solid factual information and have the ability to speak to those failures.

I will be sure and take you off of my "help that guy out" list...

Not sure if this is already posted but in case it wasn't, I just noticed this on flying together.
