In regards to checkrides being obstacles, I don't really see it. I just make adjustments in other areas to outshine those and discuss how those failures shaped my progression as an aviator. I personally wouldn't put a checkride failure cutoff unless it was sequential failures of same checkride which show failure to adapt.
Trust me, I know how we all learn from our mistakes and have no doubt it helped us grow as aviator, but saying 3 failed check rides doesn't have an impact on one's career progression is simply not true.
This came directly from a legacy recruiting captain I spoke to recently, having 1 failure is ok but when u saying 3,4,5...they view it as a pattern and rather not risk training you compared to those that doesn't have any.
All I'm saying is, it's not impossible but certainly more challenging.
