Question for FedEx and UPS pilots...
Flying for brown or purple is the ultimate goal for me someday but I busted my private checkride several years ago (flew through the boundary of class D airspace). I have passed every checkride since...all part 121 and every ride in the Air Force, including flight school. So my question is will that one busted ride early in my career keep me from getting an interview or an offer? Seems a little silly to worry about it but I wonder if it's just one more way they can weed people out with the 20,000 or so applications on file. Thanks!

Did you learn anything? Am sure you did, if ever asked. Say Yes. That is all they will want to know. I wouldn't worry about it. Afterall, if they call you in to interview, you are obviously qualified and moved past it.

Otto,
I know personally at least two pilots at FedEx who have busted checkrides. I guess it didn't hurt too bad!
The key to anything like that is to learn from the experience. Remember your bad experience and try not to make the same mistakes. We are all human and have problems along the way. You will be fine.
