Once you have a few years of uneventful 121 checking events though, I doubt the majors care if you screwed up a lazy 8 on your commerical.
I personally think it's good for a pilot to fail a checkride. Those that have busted Know what a humbling experience it is and aren't so cocky or complacent the next time they climb into the cockpit.
So the ones who have no failures are all cocky and complacent?
