Re: How employable are you if you have failed an Inital IR once or twice?

Howdy,
I completly failed mine first time....to date (fi course and 2 typeratings) the only thing concerned with flying i have ever failed.....however i did say to date.
I really thought the end of the world had come when i the examiner hopped out of the seneca and said i'll c u in the briefing room.
Listen, i've always been completly honest about the failure in all the airline interviews i've been for (5 interviews and 5 offers ....must be able to talk B@"ls withthe best of them). They seemed to realise any1 can have bad day and were more interested in how i picked myself up and got on the second time.
I now it prob seems like a big deal right now, but dont dwell on it, and be honest, turn it into a positive and you'll get on just fine.
Best of luck
