Past Line Check failure
Looking for opinions on this so thanks in advance.
Background: I had no previous failed checkrides, stage checks... nada. Got my first regional job back in 2010, passed the sim, IOE went great and then busted my line check. Did some additional training and redid the check about a week later no problem.
I left there about 1 year later for a job overseas and am a current FO on the 737 with about 1200 on type.
I've had a few friends at my current place get interviews at American and United but all is quiet for me. What's killing me is if that failure will stop me from coming back stateside in the near future.
Thoughts? Thanks

Give these folks a call to answer your question. They are very professional, and its a good idea to start interview prep now anyway. They can do a webinar or phone prep if you can't make it to one of their workshops in the states.

I suspect* that it's more of a type-rated thing...?
I ask because I've recently completed sim training & am on IOE; at the end of IOE, I will have a line check. My class is the first batch to be going through a type rating as part of the initial qualification training as FOs, so perhaps this is the "new normal" where we're all required to be typed (not just captains)...?
*note, I suspect--not "know"--this, simply because my mil background up to now has no real analog to this; I only know what I've learned in the last few months of Pt 121 world, and aside from being told about our line check at the end of IOE, this issue has never come up....

I had an initial line check as an FO at ExpressJet, and one as an FO at US Airways. Both were at the completion of OE. I thought it was standard practice.
