What do they Consider as a Checkride Failure?
When a company ask you do you have any checkride failures in the past, what constitutes as a "checkride failure"
1. A failure at another Part 121, 135 operation
2. An FAA checkride for Private, Instrument, Commercial or Multi
3. Stage Checks while doing your Private, Instrument, Commercial or Multi
Which ones constitutes as a "checkride failure". I believe a failure at another Part 121, 135 operation definitely fits the definition for one but do the others count?

1 and 2, but not 3.
Intermediate stage checks should not count, EOC checks do count assuming that you would have got a rating if you passed.
But read the question VERY, VERY carefully. I have seen some airlines ask about stage checks too...they are not (I sure hope not) going to hold you to the same standards as a checkride but don't lie.

What if the Captain failed a recurrent ride while I was the PNF? I never signed anything nor was I ever given any type of retraining, I was just rescheduled the next week with another Captain. Any ideas how this might show up in PRIA?

This is probably not in your training record as a bust, but you are allowed to view your training records and should probably do that to be sure.

Employers can consider whatever they like, and the industry standard is that if a cert or rating was at stake it was a failure. And yes, there are ways they can find out.
Do you really think that when they show you the door for lying about a failed checkride that you are going to get out of it by telling them that the GA inspector down at your local FSDO said it was OK? Let us know how that works out for you...
If you attended a 141 school because you thought you could not fail a checkride, you were SCAMMED. Take the lesson to heart, and move on.
