What's the deal with Pink Slips?

[kneeshoe]

Like many people, I have busted a checkride and received a pink slip. Here are a few questions that I had about it:

1. What does the FAA do with their copy of my pink slip?
2. Will future employers frown upon this?
3. What should I do with the pink slip that I was given?
4. Why do exams given under part 61 and 142 have pink slips, but not part 141?

I don't wear them.

Yeah , that show was cool... The RX-7 owned that civic!

Or, there is always a chance it will come up in an interview. Whatever you do don't say oh the weather was bumpy, or the examiner wasn't fair...blah blah.

Just make sure you say you messed something up and you learned from it.

most employers won't care, unless you show a pattern of failures. Chances are that the people doing the interview have been pinked also.

I got pink slipped three times in my flight training career.

TWO of them was by the same examiner, and was both on my Private and Instrument orals, both doing with flight planning.

The THIRD one I earned fair and square on the flight portion of another rating.

I've always heard that two or more pink slips is really bad, but technically the first two I got was both ground work, and it was the same subject on the first two checkrides I ever took. Would that maybe give me some leeway in the eyes of an interviewer?

1. I think it goes in your record, but am not sure.
2. Not for 1 or 2, but only if you accept responsibility and tell them what
you have learned. Blame it on somthing other than yourself and you just
bought a bus ticket home.
3. Wipe with it.
4. 141 schools do hand out pink slips. The only ones that dont are schools
with self examining authority.
