2.
They will not get 8710's or pink slips from the FAA as part of a PRIA request. However... they can do a FOIA request (I've heard some airlines do) and get those records. While some personal records are exempt from FOIA, anything related to aviation is usually fair game since public safety is at stake and flying is a privilege, not a right.

No way that I ever heard of, and after colgan the pendulum is not swinging your way any time soon.
I hope you're not seriously considering lying about checkride failures to an airline. There are many ways they can catch you...
-Any CFI or DPE can spot a failed checkride in your logbook (unless you pinked the oral). Remember, they don't have to prove anything, just have the suspicion...unless you're a world class actor/liar your face will give you away when they confront you. End of interview.
-Worse, they do a FOIA a part of your background check (normally after you start ground school). Now you got fired from a 121 job for lying...career over, cuz that is PRIA reportable.
- Even if you get hired, now it's hanging over your head for life...make the slightest mistake (even years later) that gets the FAA involved, and your entire record is going to see the light of day. There is nothing that says your failures are a secret, they just don't happen to be part of PRIA. Actually that is supposed to change I believe (more colgan fallout), so you might as well get used to it.
If you have a clean 121 record a few part 91 busts will hopefully not kill you in the long run. Also look carefully at your interview technique. The busts didn't help, but is there maybe something else you are doing wrong (or not right enough)?
