Just because you’re with a guy qualified in the left seat doesn’t necessarily make a difference. Think of it this way. The guy in the seat next to you on the checkride probably has been living, eating, and breathing the FOM, POH, and profiles for the last month or so preparing for the ride. That person is may be better prepared than the 30 year captain you might get paired with on a reserve assignment

How much does this affect me? I had one fail in private training and now one now on my ATP checkride. I'm sick to my stomach. The captain wants to try and challenge it because it was caused by the sim instructor changing everything as we were walking in the sim then giving us 200kt winds so we had no time to set up. Can you even protest an iacra checkride?
I was given a piece of advice many years ago in this industry.

"Your only job in the sim is to get your partner through training."

You both donked this up and both of you failed it, and frankly, it sounds legitimate. If you believe challenging it will reverse the outcome, go for it. But to me, you sound arrogant and whiny.

I agree, drop the "It's his fault," attitude pronto. Nothing turns an interviewers stomach like a whiny, blaming pilot applicant. Also, is English your first language?
