Recently I "popped" a checkride here. First and only failure. I am wondering how the majors will look at this.

I know majors look very closely at your training record. But if they see a bust on a PC at one of these bottom feeder companies, do they even consider it? Now I truely know the reason and driving force behind the quick upgrade here.

It just seems when you have an airline that hands out failures like a NYC meterman, that the recruiters at the top level would probably see right through that.
