When an airline inquires about training failures, it’s reasonable to assume that they’re referring to checkride failures, as well as 141 stage checks. However, what about Part 61 school stage checks? These aren’t considered official stage checks from the FAA’s perspective; they’re simply the school’s internal procedures. Should I bring these up during the interview as well?

When an airline inquires about any incidents or accidents, do they specifically mean NTSB-reportable ones (and those that appear on the PRD) or are they also interested in including minor fender-bender incidents? For instance, if I accidentally scratched a wingtip on a post, I’m concerned that some job descriptions require no incidents within the past five years, which could potentially disqualify me.
