It seems there may be more to the story.
I believe he is an FO taking a recurrent PC by himself so he was referring to the check airman who was sitting seat support for him in the left seat as the PM for the whole flight.
Regional,
Sorry to hear about your experience, man. It sucks that you use your judgement when the checklist says "as required" and the guy signing the papers thinks you should have done something else.
As far as future employment I wouldn't worry about it too much. Come up with a good story about what you did wrong and like others have said make most of the story about how you have become a better pilot because of it and no one will care about 1 failure.
what equipment are you on?
