Does that going to show on your PRIA that you failed the training or show up as "resign for personal reasons"
?
I would have to look at the PRIA paperwork to be sure, but I think it asks about "resignation in lieu of termination" That might be a judgement call on the part of the management, but unfortunately you have no idea what they will write on the PRIA form until it's too late. You also have no idea what they might say on a reference call. Remember, PRIA is about pilot records...even if they say that you quit on your own, your shortcomings will still be in your training record which MUST go to your new employer. In 121 they can't just conveniently "lose" the records.
Ultimately if you try to gloss over a termination, and they later get a story (or impression) that is at odds with what you told them, you will not be hired. Or more likely you will get fired while in training, since they often do background checks AFTER you start.
