I do know that some actually quite a few topics are off limits for employers to ask, things such as sexual and political orientation, do you have any hidden medical conditions, stuff like that- but I am not sure about this new one. Are you up for this one little trade I offer?
Trade? This is some kind of bargain or contest for you?
I stated much earlier, and provided quotes and links (long before you) showing that while the Letter of Warning is not included in the PRIA package, I have personally seen it arrive with the FAA data. I have seen this in my own applications (sat down across the desk and the employer said "We received your paperwork AND two Letters of Warning"--letters I did disclose, though they didn't ask--but which did raise concerns initially upon receiving the report). I have seen this with other applicants while executing the PRIA requests and follow-up, as the employer. It does happen.
You want me to "trade" what I provided before you ever attempted to bring reference? That's not a trade.
You don't happen to have a watch for sale, do you?

In many cases, the public is correct. In some cases not overpaid. In others not underworked.
