2nd series of ATPL ground school, is it worth pursuing a pilot career?
Hi everybody,
I recently sat 5 ATPL exams and failed 3 out of the 5 due to personal circumstances. Unfortunately I will not be able to complete the remaining 12 ATPL exams within the 18 month time period given from the first exam sitting. I will therefore be entered for a 2nd series attempt at the ATPL ground school.
So the questions I would like to ask is:
Is it even worth pursuing a piloting career with a 2nd series ground school attempt?
I know BA, Virgin, flybe, ryanair have a very high standard requirement of first time passes with maybe no more than 3 fails. Thus, a 2nd series attempt would be a straight rejection for a first officer role.
Are there even any other airlines that would could considers cadets like myself? Has anyone been successful finding employment after a 2nd attempt at ground school
Thank you
