Just hang in there. Honesty is always the best policy, and there are a few regionals that will give you a shot. I hear from these boards pinnacle,psa,air wisky are understanding over such things. Learn from your last experience and move forward. there may be a few others, so maybe some more folks on these boards can chime in.
If your curious as to what they put on your PRIA records, do a check on yourself. If they asked you to resign and it shows resigned during training and nothing else, they did you a HUGE favor. Learn from it and keep on trucking!

That's AWAC for you. They have a tendency to do the ole "take a couple weeks off and we'll get you back in here for some more sim time" thing and then call a couple days later and tell you to either resign or get fired. The training department at AWAC leaves a lot to be desired.

This is for lack of better words, BS. Don't let anyone tell you this crap. Some people take longer than others and it is also says something for the training you received. Don't let some yahoo on an internet board tell you that you can't be a pilot. There are very few pilots that don't fail a ride sooner or later.
You make a good and a stupid point jay! 1. Good= Yes everyone fails a "ride" at some point. 2. Stupid= NO!!! Very few people fail out of a training program for a job as a professional pilot. At this point in your career failure is not acceptable. Once you pass the initial training and are off probation then failing a PC can be delt with.
Just remember there is a HUGE diffrence between failing your Commercial Checkride with the FAA and failing a training program at a airline.
With tht said. Again this isn't the end of your career. Just learn from it and dont repeat it.

"everyone has a bad day"
Worst excuse ever.
I have bad days all the time.
The key is letting a bad day get in the way of doing your job. Next time around (which there will be because even heaven is hiring) leave it all at home. Go to the sim focus on the task at hand. You'll get it. I feel bad our training dept didn't get you more time. There were a couple pretty good pilots in my AWAC class that had the same deal.
Always be honest on an interview. I have 4 friends who were asked to resign out of training with TSA who are now far better off at XJT and 9E. They were truthful and with PRIA you have to be.

New to the civilian side of the house here. What is this PRIA thing I am hearing so much about and how do you "do a check on yourself."
Any help would be appreicated.
