Look, it's not even about good pilot, bad pilot. The point is, the airlines can do whatever they like. But most places are not very stringent on failures depending on your circumstance.
As it was mentioned before, the FAA has come down hard on the airlines. Now they actually DO CHECK your background by requesting things like complete records or airman from the FAA as well as the PRIA. It's not the end of the world if you have an unclean record. Just move on.
Great post a failure is a failure anyone thats been in this industry for a while knows it happens some people pass that should'nt some people fail and maybe they should've passed. Thats why experince counts. I would take a guy/gal that had two failures with a few years at cape air/Island air over a 500hr no failures, severe clear, wonder pilot any day. The people that did real flying in real wx is the person I want.
