Keep your head up bro.

Seriously. If you still want to "doowit", keep your head up.

A few years ago, I had a close friend get hired by a regional. Went thru groundschool, did pretty well and scored a percentage point too low on the groundschool final written test to qualify for training.

"Game Over" he was told.

A few months later he started getting his resumes back out and got a call by another regional airline, ended up getting hired, discussed his previous situation and was offered a job on the spot.

A few years goes by and he eventually ended up as an Airbus 320 FO for a major airline.

It's really only "game over" if you want it to be. I've been told "can't do it" almost every step of the way in my career and if I can do it, certainly you can.
