I used Linkedln to reach out to friends of mine when it came time to start getting letters of recommendation and references on my app.

Has anyone been hired at legacy with 3 or 4 checkride failures from over 12 years ago with no training failures since over 4 part 121 type ratings and captain upgrade? Im almost done with degree with clean record and hoping to get to majors next year but afraid these past failures will keep me out. Anyone will similar experience hired?

Regardless of your background situation, other people's opinions about it and how it will affect your hire-ability at a legacy doesn't help you in the slightest. And it doesn't change change the fact that you at least have to try. I'd say meet with a career counselor, bring your PRIA with you, and get your stories on what happened and how you learned from them in order, and don't stop knocking on doors until someone opens one.
And PS, there are stories of lots of pilots with checkride failures, firings, DUI's, etc, who overcame them and still got on with a legacy.
Hope this at least helps to set your mind at ease.

Awesome congrats! Looks like 12/5 and 12/13 interview groups were offered CJO's today.
I passed the interview but haven't heard a peep. Other guys from 12/5 were offered CJO's today.
I didn't get my background check and drug test completed until this morning due to my flying schedule. I may have missed the DB. Hopefully I'll hear something soon.
