I'm never the person to start anything. I always bite my lip and keep my mouth shut/head down and do my duty. But I do feel as if my former Chief FI has always had it out for me every since I started flight training at the 141 school years ago. He's the kind of guy that is not a leader but more of a politician. The flight instructors at my 141 were unionized (rare I know right?) and the union and the Chief FI (essentially management) were always getting into it over one thing or another. In fact, after I had resigned the union contacted me saying that I should have filed a grievance and went through a few processes before putting in my notice. In hindsight now, they were right. . . .

Anyway, yes I realize that essentially all of the regionals are hiring right now. However, the crappy part is I already had interviewed and was offered a tentative offer for an FO position. Now it seems I have to go through that whole process again with another regional. What I fear is that I will get to this step again and whatever my former Chief FI submits on PRIA will preclude me from landing a job anywhere.

I am currently trying to touch base with my former Chief FI's boss (who I know pretty well as he was one of my former professors and I worked under him at one point) to see if he can do anything/what he recommends.
