Wash out?
Am I considered a washout if I did not get signed off for my checkride? Here's the story. My sim instructor suggested that I was in need of more sim sessions before I get signed off for the type ride and put in a recommendation to the head of flight training. The sim got the best of me and I was behind it majority of the time. If I got 2-3 more sim sessions, I could have corrected it. Anyways, I got sent home waiting for a call from the head of flt. training and a few days later, I was asked to resign due to the availability of sim schedule being backed up. So does that mean, I'm considered a washout? I didn't even get to take the oral...

I guess it depends on how they record it in your training record. It kind of sounds like they're being nice by asking you to resign.
The bigger question is what are you going to say at future interviews when they ask "so, what were you doing before this? Why did you leave?"

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.
