A phase check is not a checkride. I have no problem honestly answering questions about failed phase checks or failed check rides. They're just not the same question and they won't be the same answer.
But seriously, a job interview at FDX or UPS is not the place to impress HR with Bill Clinton-like wordsmithing skills, and a clever semantic commentary about how you were justified in not putting your UPT bust on your application.
True story:
UPS class back in 2007. Class welcome dinner with the Chief Pilot. During the Chief Pilot's speech, he encouraged everyone to "be honest, and put integrity first, because that's what built this company, wuf, wuf, wuf..."
So during the cocktail mixer portion of the event later on, one new-hire, encouraged by this open-door, "as long as you don't lie, cheat, or steal, you can tell us anything" tone, wanted to assuage the guilt he had from omitting a UPT bust on his UPS application.
So he privately shared with the chief pilot that he had actually failed a UPT check, then left it off of his application.
He was immediately fired, before he could even set down his Bud Light.
