If you go into the ride knowing your limitations, immediate action items, systems and fly the profiles there is no reason why you cannot pass a type ride at FSI. They want you to pass.
Airlines don't care if you pass or fail.
You only have to fly one hand-flown approach and do some steep turns and 3 stalls, so you really only need to be able to take off and fly to 1000 feet and turn the autopilot on, then fly down to 200 feet and turn it off to land. You don't even have to really know how to hand fly.
I am not making this up. I have seen it.
