Or I follow it up with “so what’s your excuse for the failed oral?! Hmmm?”
Anyone who cuts their medical should have their license revoked for not being proficient in English. “Fold here”. Not “cut here”

Haha. Exactly. If I’m hearing this at an interview, I’m thinking “next!”

I apologize for that. I thought I had said that months earlier but I may not have.
I did mess up as I was not in compliance with the FOM. My application explanation states that verbatim as well.
I also took the time to contact several co workers and tell them if your medical is cut it’s not valid and you will bust for it. Get it fixed before you end up like me. I can think of 2 people off the top of my head who needed new medicals.
I learned greatly. It sure as hell won’t happen again. Do I take extra caution with just about everything I do now? Absolutely!
Yet, do I think it should make me unhireable? No I don’t.
Again, sorry for coming off a certain way. It’s just I know how important it is to get out of regionals real soon if there is to be any long term seniority down the road. Frustrations mount and can get overwhelming at times.

Not just the FOM. You were not in compliance with the FARs.
I would also reconsider the story about getting an ACARS mid line-check about a medical issue to RTG. That just did not happen. No-one reviews that stuff real time. You are leaving something out of the story, and that is a huge red flag for anyone.

And for the record, my story I’m saying on here is not what is on my application. The application is a very brief explanation of have a non-compliant medical and caused me to be removed from flying status for a few days. I have no choice but to take responsibility and I’m certainly not going to try and shift any blame on an application or in an interview.

I can assure you I’m not. That’s how it happened. LCA had no issue and let us push. Acars came saying RTG. LCA made a quick call from the jumpseat to his supervisor I believe and said I had both half’s of the medical but it was still a no-go. Senior LCA as well. He told me unfortunately this will have to be an unsat since we couldn’t complete the flight. Next day the FAA representative at my airline got in touch with me and asked some questions. Even he wasn’t really sure it was a an issue. I had to show him the chapter in our FOM that states “medical must be intact.” Perhaps this is a newer issue? Fleet management suggested it was. But there ended up being a bunch of cases of this after me. It was especially prevalent in the furloughs that returned.
