If probie ride candidates know their systems, flows, profiles, procedures and OpSpecs cold then you should have the oral on lockdown and all you have to do is fly the damn simulator without crashing or continually busting standards and you're fine. That said, the standard "CKA having a bad day" disclaimer applies...

I lucked out on that one -- the FAA was inspecting a new check airman give the type ride for the first time -- I went first no prob, but was super nervous, sim partner wasn't so lucky
sorry to hear it, but don't let anyone tell yuo its going to stop you from getting on with a Major, thats just ridiculous.
