Well, getting close to class date...and that question is the the most difficult to answer "What do you want to happen when that call is made?"
So, the airline will investigate my employment and they will already know I am on a LOA. However, my non aviation employer will then discover the reason of the LOA, not family related or other made up reasons but to pursue an airline career. Shouldn't a simple employment verification be enough or the regional has to call my previous non aviation employer and ask questions?
