I only know what you posted, but again, you need to own it. The examiner felt whatever happened you both deserved to fail. The FMS not sequencing could be a problem if it results in a gross navigation error while you’re 1000 miles from shore in NAT Airspace. Being heads down while the CA makes a wrong turn could be a problem if you bring Chicago Ohare departures to a grinding halt while they look for a tow bar and a tug with a radio to fix your screw up. Missing a checklist item while flying a CAT3 autoland in 300RVR could be a problem. Own it. You deserved to fail.
As far as depending on the fully qualified Captain, he/she is human and can make a mistake just like you. I’m still waiting for my first perfect flight. The idea is that between you and the CA, you can both trap errors and complete the flight...anyone can have an off day, But the other pilot steps it up and keeps things safe.
Pass the re-check, use it as a learning experience, and move forward...you’re not the first and won’t be the last to bust a ride, but the attitude that you didn’t deserve to fail will not help you.
