A method facilitates fabricating an airfoil for use with a turbine blade. The method comprises forming a substantially solid ceramic airfoil core, inserting the core into a die and casting the airfoil with a pressure side wall and a suction side wall connected together at a leading edge and a trailing edge, such that a plurality of first trailing edge slots and at least one second trailing edge slot extend from the trailing edge along the pressure side wall, wherein the second trailing edge slot has a length, measured between an inlet and an exit of the slot, that is longer than a corresponding length of each of the plurality of first trailing edge slots.
