You may have dented your chances on getting a jet job straight out of flight school, my advice to accept that a crack on- whats the rush to get to the airlines anyway?
Good luck.
Thank you for the reply.
The rush is because I'm 26 and pilot training costs will amount to a near £100,000 which is still a loan that needs to be payed back.
Could you please explain in more detail it just takes a few extra years to get to an airlines statement? I don't quite understand it.
Also when you say you have dented your chances on getting a jet job straight out of flight school, does this mean that there are 0 airlines in the UK/European region that would not consider trainees with a 2nd attempt at groundschool?
