The fact that you never failed a checkride doesn't mean a fly's fart about you as a pilot. If you are asked if you ever failed a checkride in an interview, it's not to see if you did. It's to see how you answer the question. Because the people interviewing you are the people that will potentially be flying with you. Nobody wants to fly with somebody with a god complex. You need to be as worried about yourself as you are about other people. You won't be a safe pilot otherwise.
