Default Messed Up on Private Checkride!

Hello fellow pilots

I, like most of you here, plan (or at least hope to) fly for an airline someday. And after reading up on all the info available to me, one of the huge things I got out of that was this: all checkrides (whether private, instrument, commercial, etc) stay on your record for good, and if you mess up one, the airlines won't look at it and smile.

I mention this because I just attempted my private ride today and messed up my crosswind landings. I'm planning on taking that part of the ride again before the week's out, but what I'm worried about is the fact that a busted checkride never goes away no matter what. in your opinion, what does that say about my chances about getting hired by an airline?

sorry if it sounds like I'm whining, but like I said, I'm very worried about what this will do to my future.
