So your saying you're a great pilot!! Jk. Right or wrong, but if eagle can hire pilots with no failures why shouldn't they. Then once those are gone move to multiple failure pilots. Seems eagle can still be choosey, so why not be. I hope you get hired somewhere but I always am dumbfounded when people get mad at eagle for being choosey. Just keep applying and you'll get hired somewhere.

Not to be mean, but I believe you mentioned before that you have 4 checkride failures. I would be willing to think you would have found some serious obstacles getting hired with those 4 failures, regardless of 3407.

Correct, but it was less of an issue before than it is now. It's sad though when a recruiter says bud I feel your pain because if you just wouldn't have gone for your CFI's you wouldn't be in this situation. He went on to say that there is a possibility that in the future Eagle may not count CFI busts because they are not in a sense an evaluation of your preceived flying ability. ETC. ETC.

Because you work for a great company yet for some reason you're insane enough to waste time and money trying to live the same life I live.
I thought I taught you better than that bro.
I keep telling you to stay put, network, and find a NICE corporate gig where you can work where you're working now AND fly a nice airplane without all the BS.
Your fiancé will appreciate it as well.
Also this.
If you're still dumb enough to follow me down this god-forsaken rat-hole of a career here's some words of advice....Never Give Up. :shudder:
You'll eventually get a class date to SOME airline....and if you still want to come partake in this terrible career you're more than welcome to waste your time.
Bottom line is this....you've got a PERFECT networking opportunity right now to get into thew corporate world....USE IT!

Moral of the story:
Don't write anything on your company or union email account that you wouldn't want some idiot lawyer to take out of context and make public.
After all, I'd love to know if any of these lawyers ever failed the bar exam. Wonder if we get to count that against them like they do a checkride failure against us?

Didn't even think that heck if it took someone 3 times to pass the bar maybe they shouldn't be qualified to practice lol. Maybe just paralegal work?
