During my checkride, the APD said I did things wrong (which the instructors told me to do). There are other things, but I wont go there. I was asked to resign, which I did. More than half my class also failed something along the way, with all the remaining requiring extra training, and a small minority (me included) asked to resign.

I applied to other airlines now, with only getting rejection letters left and right, even for go-jet.

To keep things short and anonymous, the training was absolutely not an issue for me. I knew my callouts, triggers, flows, my flying was good. I have no problem studying, as I have a bachelors degree and am almost finishing up my JD law degree. It was the poor training and non-standardization that failed me. I know you guys dont like the person not taking the blame, but trust me when I tell you it is the airline's training. If you were here, or went here, you would know what I am talking about. But of course in interviews I would say it is my fault.

I regret coming to this airline, even when multiple people on APC DM'd and warned me before joining, telling me about their experience. My friends who went to Republic/Piedmont/Endeavor/Mesa/Envoy and had nothing but positives to say about the training quality and they all made it, even the ones I knew were poor pilots.

Now, I am asking for advice on how to move forward with one PPL failure and two 121 failures on my record + being asked to resign.
Go to Mesa. They usually have good luck turning other airlines broken toys into pilots for them.
