Failed CFI checkride?
Do the majors care if you failed CFI checkrides?
I have heard that CFI checkrides are usually overlooked because they are optional and have a low first time pass rate anyway.

They don't care. Get good interview prep-and they will show you how to turn such things into a positive.

I think the Orlando FSDO at some point had less then a 10% first time pass rate on CFI applicants.
I've always understood that you get a pass on an Initial CFI fail because nationwide the first time fail rate is so high.
Take the blame for the fail though, own it.
Don't tell them you failed because you CFI didn't prepare you, the FAA dude was being difficult and your mom forgot to make you lunch.
