So here's one for the group:

Seventeen years ago I pinked my Commercial and my CFI check rides. I passed each on retest one week after the fact. I've disclosed this on my application.

In the years since, I've passed two type rides, and every line check and recurrent event I've ever had. I've been a chief pilot, and ACP, and a Standards Captain. My record has been clean ever since.

How heavily do you figure those two busts figure in the hiring/interview equation? Obviously they figure, or the company wouldn't ask that they be disclosed.

I've never interviewed and never gotten the call. I'm wondering if those busts might be the thing that's holding me back.

My stats, btw, are:

8800 TT
3200 TPIC
Three types (no 737)
Heavy international
Part 91K, 135 (no 121)
