I am just beginning training and airline x, but I want to know my options moving forward as well as open up this discussion for others who are already in this position.

How does it work if a pilot doesn't make it through the training at one regional? Is it advisable to apply to other regionals now that they were unsuccessful already...

I was told if one doesn't make it at airline A, they can very well go to another airline and be successful? (That this is an industry wide occurrence: one airline trains a pilot who doesn't successfully finish training, asked to resign, then proceeds to go to another airline and is successful.)
Example: One didn't make it through PSA, could they now apply to Skywest or Air Wisconsin?

If yes, what's the best way to approach the new round of applications? Reason for leaving would be...? ("unsuccessful training" :/, which hardly sounds appealing, or "slow training progression") because you would have to be sure to include the previous airline in your application/resume.

Take Skywest outta the equation and said applicant should be ok. ;-)

uh oh! What's not recommended about Skywest? I heard they had a good training program :0

If one fails trailing at airline A, then said person is perfect Mesa material!

If someone couldn't hack it at PSA, they should probably not come to Air Wisconsin. Try Mesa, Gojet or Republic.

SkyWest has a very good training department. At the same time, some people have washed out of one airline and done fine at others. Sometimes it depends on the individual.

Exactly, and how does one convey that idea to the next interviewers.... That would be an awkward conversation....

Washing out happens. You're not the first and definitely won't be the last. Remember to own up to your mistakes going forward in interviews. Some just can't hack 121 training due to do the fast-paced firehose-like training. We're not even talking about ongoing personal issues at home...

In this regional environment, a training failure isn't a big deal. You want to pass, of course, but you will still be hired by other regional airlines and give a second chance because everyone is so short staffed. Just don't fail a second time, then other airlines will take notice.

The more difficult challenge comes when you apply for a major and you are competing against a much larger pool of better qualified candidates. But you can talk to an interview prep person about that, as it gets closer.

It really shouldn't be awkward.

Own up to your own failures, why it happened etc. no one is perfect, and no one is expects you to be perfect.

Whatever you do, don't blame the sim instructor, check airman, etc
