My past flight instructing job boss has written a bad work reference for me. I found this out after I was hired at my current 135 job. The director of ops called me up and said my past boss had written some negative things about me on the job verification form they sent out. This totally caught me off guard because I thought I left on better terms than that. He basically said I had shown up to work late multiple times, didn't fill out 141 paperwork correctly, and bad mouthed the company. I explained this to my current employer and still have my job but am very bothered by it and worried about future interviews.

I have a thread about my flight instruction job here:

I basically didn't agree or see eye to eye on how things were done and how we were treated and threatened while working. Anyways I do have an interview coming up and would like very much for it to go well but this skeleton in my closet is stressing me out.

Thanks for any help!!
