How would you answer this question?
Looking at a couple of applications and some have the question, have you ever failed to complete initial, transition or upgrade training?
I attended an initial training event (1997) where I resigned during training to accept another position. It was a B727 FE position and I was offered a flying gig and decided to accept. No failures or unsat. Would this be considered a failure to complete training?
I know they are looking for performance issues but nonetheless I did in fact not complete training and don't want to appear misleading.

'Failed to complete' is a lot different than leaving for another airline for any other reason. It implies you were fired in ground school, which you weren't. It was 20 years ago and it's not on PRIA, so don't bother disclosing it unless you want to raise eyebrows in an interview.

Nothing about this would show up in a PRIA/background check. If you aren't offered employment with whoever you are interviewing with, that will not be the reason.

Thanks for the information. Yes, I was probably overthinking it. And as far as the interview prep, indeed!
To reiterate, I did not complete training because I was offered another (better) position. There were no performance based issues.

NO!
You left for a better position. You failed nothing. That covers intent in my eyes.
They also have no way of knowing. So don't go offering them something they could misinterpret for a skeleton.
Good luck.
