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.
You need to look over your whole aviation career (preferably with an older more experienced professional pilot as mentor) and evaluate if this career is a good fit for you. Not sure why you quit your JD before finishing, but that might be a better option. Not everyone does well in this career. Forcing it to work will make you miserable and possibly kill you and others. See the Atlas 76 crash. There are definitely other things you can do in life. Consider them seriously.
