Actually training at my airline is very good. It's based on an a person with previous experience in the CRJ, so it's a bit advanced at times. But nothing that people can't get through. It's not the standard old style let's teach you everything then test you on everything. It's the newer style of let me teach you this, test you, then we'll move onto something else.

Well where's the fun in that?

My SIM partner only lost 50 feet after getting the pusher. I still don't know how the hell he did it.
As far as quiting before being let go I can only say this... I know a guy who had "left" two different airlines durring his training. Each one he had an excuse for. Instead of being honest about his experience and abilities at the time, he made excuses. It is very easy to see through that BS. And when the PRIA paperwork came in, the instructors comments made it very clear. Just make sure you are honest and focus on what you learned and how much you have grown since then in your next interview. I think most people would much rather hire honest pilots that have struggled in the past than excuse makers that can't learn.
I would agree though....next time go down fighting. Everyone struggles at some point. Let them tell you your not going to make it. The instructors have a much better insight into your abilities than you might think, and 9 times out of 10 they are much tougher on you than the checkairmen.

basically you would have to do a good job of explaining it in person and convince them why they should pay to put you through training again.

Technically, you can't resign from a place that you were never employed at. Symantics, I know, but it could work in your favor. The question is, will it show up on your PRIA record if you were A) never employed and B) didn't even finish a training cycle?

One option the OP might consider is building your time up to 135 mins and work for six months, to a year, flying freight. It's a good confidence builder and would be a base from which to "start over". You won't have to worry about large sim training, either.
I've done stalls in a level D sim, too. They don't spend a lot of time on it. You just have to stick with the profile and hope for the best. I can see how a guy could sort of develop a block with it and struggle. Then, throw in a yelling instructor, and a guy could pretty much be a goner.
People overcome all sorts of adversity in this career. DUI's, FAR violation's, ect. You have to put time and a positive work history between you and the event.
