Default What are the chances? Failed Checkrides

Just a question about interviewing with a regional airline. I am a couple months out, I hope to interview by next summer. Reading other post about the interview. I know they ask questions about failed checkrides. And I'll be the first to admit that I've had a 'few' I use that term lightly. All in all, I've had 3. My private, instrument & initial CFI. I do take full responsibility for them. I just couldn't relax for the life of me. I don't blame the examiners. But everything that I did miss, I took that and still to date know exactly what I missed and I will never forget them. (They have left a lasting impression)

How will the airlines look at this that I failed 3? I think that it made me a better pilot, and I have learned from all the experiences. Secondly, When I was a young lad 16, in the 90's, I did get my license suspened for 1 month. And in 2004 I got my first speeding ticket EVER.

Now, I know this doesn't look good at all. but I am a gold seal instructor (for what it's worth) and I take what I have learned and from my failed checkrides and pass them onto to my students.

Will the airlines frown on this? I'm not a bad guy, but just a knucklehead that makes dumb mistakes
