You are correct in that you need to get a 121 job and pass training. Once you punch the 121 ticket future employers will not be too concerned with your ability to complete training, despite the one failure.
Failures happen for a variety of reasons, you just need to prove that it was a transient problem and not indicative of your overall abilities. Avoid regionals with high failure rates...two failures and you are done in the airline world..
