You need to do some careful introspection. If you truly failed those rides because of personal circumstances, then there might be a way ahead.
If you failed because of poor work ethic, that can be fixed, but you probably need to over come lifelong bad habits.
If those failures represent poor aptitude, you probably need a different career.
The way ahead....
First off, it is essentially not conceivable that you would ever be hired by a legacy, SWA, FDX, UPS. Probably not by any second tier majors either. The best you'll do is a regional or ULCC. Might the pilot shortage improve your prospects? Maybe but I wouldn't bet your career on it.
Check ride failures never go away, and they are a huge screening factor. Kind of like herpes.
Keep trying to get on with any regional. In the meantime, try to get some turbine job, preferably 135. If you can accumulate several type ratings (at a couple different employers) and about 5k with ZERO training issues and no incidents or violations then you should be able to get a regional job. After several thousand trouble free hours as a regional PIC, you might be able to get a low-tier major job.
But you'll be on double secret probation until you reach your career destination airline, whatever that is. One hiccup and you'd be done I suspect.
Other option is part 91... that tends to be more personality driven, and there will be a pilot shortage in corporate & private aviation due to airline hiring for the next 20 years or so.
