I think you guys are seriously mistaken. The PRIA rules for employers are not the same for the FAA.
First off, IIRC pink slips are not included in PRIA anyway. However...any company can do a FOIA request and obtain almost everything in your FAA record, except possibly for warning letters which were purged after a period of time. I know some airlines do FOIA requests as a matter of course.
