Dude you need to stop worrying about the PRIA. I have no idea whats on it and don't really care to be honest.
You need to worry about your attitude and whats on the application. You're coming across as wanting to hide the facts man. Hiding these facts will kill your career for sure. This is a super small world. If the guys a Piedmont don't already know who you are they will find out before you're done with class and if you lied to them on the application or interview you will be fired and walked out class. So make sure you answer the questions they ask. Fact is you have failed to complete two new hire classes. And you're going to have to list both airlines on the work history. So I'm sure the interviewers will ask questions about why you left both places within a time frame of what a typical new hire class is. Don't lie no matter what you think is or isn't on the PRIA. Another reason PRIA isn't as big of a deal as you think is this thread. You will be totally kidding yourself if you think there is no way that someone at PDT has seen this so there is a chance that the PDT interviewers will be keyed in on this story next week when they are asking their questions.
Like it was said before you've washed out of TWO new hire classes so you need to figure out what you're doing wrong and whats causing you problems in the sim. Behind the plane how? Behind because you're shooting multiple approaches and situational awareness goes out the window? Behind because you're getting caught up in checklists and procedures, flows and callouts messing with you? Figure out whats messing you up and figure out a way to fix it before you start another class.
Don't kid yourself into thinking that a turboprop will make you keep up with the plane though. Realistically in the sim the turboprop will be only flown a handful of knots slower than the CRJ was flown in the sim so you're not going to gain a lot of time. You will probably be busier actually. I've never flown a dash or a CRJ, but I've flown 2 turboprops and 2 jets and I can say that both turboprops were harder on V1 cuts and both turboprops had much more busy work as far as switch flipping on normal ops much less emergency procedures. Also turboprops where harder situational awarenesswise because both turboprops I flew didn't have a nice MFD with FMS course line drawn on it etc so all the pretty MFD nav map stuff has to happen in your head.
Sorry so long. Hope it works out for you, but I can say it won't work for you if you lie at all and if you don't take the time figure out whats actually hurting you before you start another class.
