A little blemish on the record, need advice
I had just completed a landing in a Barron E55 at night. While on the latter part of my landing roll out, a deer moved from the grass onto the runway. I swerved to avoid the animal, which resulted in a Sideload / Gear collapse on the right side. So now there is this wonderful incident on my record. How does this effect my Airline career chances? The FAA incident records on my file shows that this was the result of my avoiding the deer, so I have written proof that I didn't just goof up a landing. Will the Airlines ever deny you an interview because of something like this on your record?

We had an Aztec hit a deer at my airport. Collapsed the ldg gear and destroyed both engines. Pilot wasn't hurt and engines were at TBO. So the owner said the only unfortunate incident in the whole thing is that there was no deer meat left to eat
Citation also hit a deer as well. Funny they spent X millions of dollars on an animal proof fence and the deer just leap over it, coyote dig under it, and the turkey just walk through the gate.
I think animal incidents are very understandable.
