Default How should I explain a resignation when I was employed for a short time?

I resigned from a major career due to a family emergency. However, the emergency ended as soon as I resigned. Prior to my resignation, I asked the company to give me a one weeks leave, but they didn't, because I was still in training doing my IOE, and I already had another one week leave.
Now, I am applying to similar airlines, but I worry that the recruiters will see my resume, and will think that I might of been fired, due to my short employement period, and they may never invite me for an interview. They might think who would quit in such a bad time, from one of the best airlines, when there are few airlines hiring now. But, if they call me for an interview, I have my resignation letter, good references from that airline, and medical reports for my family emergency to prove that I haven't been fired.
Will I really have hard time finding a job?

Any advise will be appreciated
