I resigned during training
I resigned from my 135 job during line training. Things were not going as well as planned anyway. I didn't really like the job, but here I am now in this situation. Am I screwed? If not, how do I explain this to potential employers? Not really sure where to go from here? Any advice would be helpful.

A potential employer will automatically view this as resigned in lieu of being terminated for training failure.
This is obviously a tough situation and the only way to overcome it will be by completing training at another 135 or 121 operator. Of course it will be hard to get an opportunity to accomplish that. I would pretty much rule out 121 at this point although you can probably find a 135 operator who will give you another shot.
The best path is to probably go back to flight instruction (or whatever you were doing before), get some more experience and then try again. If you are low time this whole thing could be written off to inexperience. Other folks have gone down this road before.
If you resigned for reasons other than inability to complete training, that could be complicated and would depend on the circumstances (and what that company will say about you when called for a reference).

I was hired at UPS in 1991 and after a couple of weeks confirmed that flying freight wasn't how I wanted to spend the next 30 years. My previous employer had a policy that enabled me to come back without a loss of seniority. I went on to get hired at Eagle, America West and United.

I left for training difficulties, but I also had some personal stuff going on. I don't really think that would make a difference though?

I know someone who left 135 training under difficulties he went on to get his atp and more multi time . He got hired and was flying for a regional then furloughed. He actually said flying the CRJ was easier than the plane in the 135 outfit .Heck there are guys flying a CRJ or erj that couldnt enter a hold, fly an NDB approach or much less a DME arc single pilot IFR They are automation dependant keep your chin up and keep trying /applying !!

There will still be some wariness, and an employer might even request documentation to support your story if the nature of the request would not violate labor laws.

Interesting that someone assumes a negative reason for resigning during training. If that's so, then why have I read about guys in training at Airline A when they get a job offer from Airline B, who subsequently leave Airline A for that other job?
