Maybe with some ULCC's. Not sure where AS stands on that.
A lot of this has to do with what checkrides, how long ago, and what's happened since. A couple GA busts followed by ten years trouble-free years and multiple 121/135 type ratings should not be a big deal for most majors.
Several recent busts without much good history between them and you will probably need some time and trouble-free experience to overcome.
A sustained pattern of busts at all levels throughout your career does not bode well at all for most or all majors.
