Ya exactly Rick I had no intentions on trying to hide it if asked

 

I don't think they give out actual 'pink slips' anymore.

 

Here's a senario:

Got through INDOC, ground school and CPT great.....got to the sim and struggled. Sent home and told you'd get 2 extra sessions to straighten things out in a week or two. Sit at home for 3 weeks then called by the Chief Pilot and told they no longer wanted to offer the extra sim sessions and gives you the option to resign.

Do you explain this in a interview just like it happened or word it differently? Technically, it's not a 121 failure BUT it shows you couldn't finish the program.

 

Why give that much detail? If you were given the option to resign at you took it, your resignation is the mark of separation. You can have any number of reasons for resigning, but unless you enumerated them in a letter of resignation, then they exist entirely in your explanation at a later date. Resigned for family issues? Resigned to pursue your rise to become the Holy Dalai Lama (or your life-long fall-back, the King of Norway)? Resigned due to a medical issue? Resigned after receiving a revelation from a potato shaped like Jesus?

Who is going to repudiate that? Your word, your resignation, your explanation. Be as subtle or as grandiose as you wish. It's your story. If the prospective employer visits your former employer by phone or mail, or drops in for a spot of tea and a crumpet (does anybody?), the best they can see is a resignation, to which you'll need to add an explanation. You had cramps that morning, and when the midol wore off, you'd already sent the letter. The chief pilot begged you to stay, but a trout stream in Montana was calling your name, and there were cookies to bake, and Taliban to kill. Spring was in the air. Off you went.

You get the point.

 

Gotcha thanks

 

FWIW, I just received a copy of my PRIA and training records (heading to new airline so I requested a copy), it had the DATES AND OUTCOME OF EVERY AND ALL TRAINING EVENTS, even online CBTs. DO NOT LIE

 

Yeah they do.

I have a couple of buds that recently got their "examining authority" and they were given two small pads for certificate check rides.
One white and the other was pink.
