It sounds like the company in question gives the impression to current pilots that they will put a "mark" on their PRIA if they break contract but this is an empty threat.
Absolutely as you have said. PRIA says nothing about being fired, and not eligible for rehire isn't even there. There are policies in place that state that all employees must have
terminated stated as
status when potential employers call
The Work Verification Line.
Absuloute nonesense to assume that an employer would have the authority to black list people like that. I took an early out from my former employer, and my status says ineligible for rehire and terminated.
In my opinion, PRIA is ineffective anyway. We survived quite a while without it, and it really doesn't do anything to prevent accidents. It actually has the potential to ruin careers. Think of how many people get pink slips for upgrade, when it is obviously a tactic on the companies part to slow the progression of their employees.
