To the OP, were you paid for your time at training? It's always an easy way to determine if you were employed at a place... Did I fill out paperwork and get compensated.
PRIA covers two categories...
Employment and training.
Under employment certain info about some disciplinary events is reportable, some is not. Getting terminated is reportable. Lack of a termination would normally imply resignation...but the big problem here is that if you "resigned":
1) during training, or after training trouble.
OR
2) without an job offer elsewhere.
Then the automatic assumption is that you were allowed to resign in lieu of termination. This assumption is correct about 90% of the time, so airlines will just go with that and not worry too much about the 10% (no legal protection for that).
Maybe if you were never paid or considered an employee this part would be not applicable. Maybe. Good luck with that.
For Training, there is a list of codes generated which includes any failures of reportable events, But it also shows completion of various events, even non-jeopardy events so an employer can get an idea of how far along you got. Most of it's greek to me, but I don't believe that not considering yourself an employee makes the PRIA requirement to obtain past training info go away.
The PRIA regs are poorly written and confusing so any protections afforded pilots are watered down by the grey areas. PRIA is designed to identify bad pilots, not protect good ones.
Want to be protected? Don't lie about anything, don't fail anything, any don't make it any strange career moves which will be hard to explain later.
