Second Series CPL Pass
Hey Guys,
I have been worried for sometime about a 'black mark' on my flying training.
I failed my CPL first time in September 2010 due to a 'cock up' in the emergency section of the flight, which is an instant fail nowadays!
I then went up to do it again, on quite a blustery day, and got a knocking for not doing brilliant crosswind landings, partial. Finally went up and finished it off the day after. Second Series Partial then Pass....
I passed all ATPL exams first time with 95.4% average.
First time 'squeeky clean' IR pass with a tough examiner.
I graduated Cabair in December 2010 and am currently seeking my first FO job.
Realistically, how bad with the CPL affect me in finding a job? I am quite concerned. I am currently filling out an Aer Lingus application and there is no option for 'Second Series' CPL so i guess they won't like me if i apply anyway? It does not explicitly say 'First Series' only though....
Any advice guys?

Unless you tell them, how will anybody know?
Your licence says the qualification, and the date of issue - it doesn't give pass rates, or how difficult various bits were for you.
I don't think that you're any more likely to be penalised for the second series pass, than you are praised for your high written marks.
The lack of any real flying experience is probably a much bigger problem.

Mate, there are so many variables with these professional flight tests, and it is easy to drop a bollock. Please dont think it will affect you professional flying career, because it wont. Dont look back, just forward.
All the best.
