You gotta let the chips fall where they may and don't ever say it wasn't my fault or make excuses
Agreed.
People fail checkrides and/or sims - it happens. If you disclosed it already and still got the interview, then just explain it.
Plus, I would find it really poor taste of the company to go around asking random interviewees if they failed checkrides based on what is read here (I gotta be honest - this company has done things in the past that is classless so I would'nt put it past them).
However, you WILL be asked about your issue in the HR portion as that portion is made up of at least one pilot (mine had 2).
This isn't an overally difficult interview. It can be stressful but AMR has a 2 day interview w/ sim ride as do others.
Just relax, don't lie and present yourself.
