Spanner in the Works!!

Dear All,

I have read with some interest the discussion between modular and integrated, selected v's self funded and non selected.

Anyway I would like to throw a spanner in the works.....How about a self sponsored who has passed a very rigorous pilot selection procedure!

How would an airline (big or small) view an ex-military Officer in his mid 30's who was selected as a Pilot in the armed forces(and therefore passed all aptitude tests and an arguably harder selection process then someone for an integrated course) passed all elements of fixed wing training (Grading and JEFTS) but failed rotary training (because helicopters just arn't for some people!) then self sponsored his way to a fATPL??? Not that that person is me of course!!!! Hmmmm

Any airline recruiters or olds or bolds care to comment?
