They mentioned had I said something previously before the exam they may have been able to delay the training or work something out (which, once again is completely my fault). I was encouraged to resign and told this would not get listed on the PRIA. However, as mentioned I have not been hearing back from airlines after submitting applications so I have been skeptical. I'm still trying for figure out the best way to own my faults without making excuses and putting it on my health. Because the truth is, like many have said before, regardless of my circumstances I could have handled the situation better which would have had a better outcome.
I will add since my last post I did reach out to someone from the company, in the training department, explaining my situation and they encouraged me to re-apply and provide my medical paperwork. So I am feeling somewhat optimistic. I will continue to send out my applications.
Thank you all for your feedback and advice. It has all been very helpful, insightful, and has given me motivation to keep trying.
As others have said, plenty of people have had problems in the past at various stages of training and the majority find employment with regionals and majors regardless, especially with the market as it is.
Don’t give up, you will absolutely be hired. Just have that story down from what you learned and how you will move past it going forward.
