🎙️ Corporate Pilot Theo & A320 First Officer Ben Join the Pilot’s Discord Daily!

Today’s live episode is one of our most important yet. We unpack a raw, emotional story from a pilot who failed their 121 checkride — their fourth checkride failure — and was asked to resign just days later. Now, they’re jobless, supporting a child, and unsure of their future in aviation.

We dive deep into:
✈️ What a 121 failure actually means
🛫 How airlines view multiple checkride busts
📉 Why the industry treats failure differently than other fields
💡 Real strategies to bounce back and get rehired
💬 Community reactions and comments from across the Pilot's Discord

Joining us are two seasoned pros:
👨‍✈️ Theo – Corporate Pilot with years of industry insight
👨‍✈️ Ben – A320 First Officer who brings the airline perspective

Whether you’re still in training, flying Part 91/135, or aiming for the airlines — this episode offers advice you won’t hear anywhere else.

👇 Comment below: What would YOU do if you were in this pilot’s shoes?
