yes, you're allowed to retake it. The same goes for check rides (and thank god, too, because after 1 1/2years, I'm finally controling my landings on a consitant basis. )

No dinner for you tonight, young man.
No worries. I failed my CRJ captain's test 4 times.

You should study the Flying manual and the CRJ manual, aslso,
Please, dont discuss about the checkrides/tests and exams in the cooler, it's better to create a Help Desk issue or email you CP and/or you ACPs.

I think a general question like this is ok, as opposed to "At so and so waypoint, do I...?", but yes, that's a good point Augusto, checkrides, aren't usually to be discussed in the cooler (or tests for that matter too).

Yeah I know, it's just in somewhere in the future, probably he won't understand something in a future checkride, and he will ask about that in the cooler/Acars, I think that kind of question won't kill someone, but you know, rules are rules.

I failed my CRJ Captain's Test a bunch of times too, Lennoxx. Tests aren't the only thing that goes into making you a good or bad pilot. I'm sure you're a great MD-88 F/O.

I failed my CRJ Captain's test 3 times, then I passed every test til the 777 FO one... In every test that I have made, I learned something new about the aviation/aircrafts.
