Not cool.
What about you is particularly interesting?

From your post history it appears your most recent checkride failure was at a regional earlier this year, and the above post uses “fails” plural. In this hiring climate, that’s not the no-go it once was a few years go, but it still begs the question to any potential employer what the circumstances surrounding those failures were. I’ve done a fair number of interviews in my career and I’ve never had anyone be openly rude or dismissive, but I did do a lot of self reflection later on how I could have better answered certain questions.

I wonder if the “bad looks” were about your failures, or more about your response(s) to their questions about them…
