i gues it's possible and I know the applicant is executing the authority of PIC on the check-ride, but geez the examiner should have cuaght somthing like that especialy since he was the one that failed the engine on the appicant in the first place. He could have simply told the applicant to go around multi-engine or take the controls land and talk about the pink slip on the ground.

There are two types of pilots. Those who have landed gear up and those who will.
I know at least 4 individuals who have struck tips or slid in for a perfect no point landing and work full time in the aviation world. One is a 747 captain. One is a CRJ Captain. One is an A320 FO, and the other is a Challenger 604 captain.
At the end of the day it isn't the fact that you had an accident. It's the circumstances surrounding that event (no negligence), and the fact that you learned from it.
I can guarantee you that somebody that has had to use a crane to get the plane back on the ramp isn't going to belly land EVER again in their career.

Tell him to avoid American Eagle and AA. They don't give the time of day to anything with anything on their record, no matter what happened and who's fault it was. ExpressJet, Delta, Continental, Horizon, Air Wisconsin, and Northwest have concerns, but they'll interview and hire someone with an accident, incident, or occurrence on their record.
Just so ya know, some places are asking, “Have you ever been investigated by the FAA and/or NTSB?” If you ever had a ramp check, the answer is yes.
