Retain such statements in the PRIA file for the individual. These comments may be included in the records from the previous employer; however, the pilot may forward these comments to you at some point during the interview or records review process.
The person that was terminated immediately may have been well outside this with a murder conviction or something similarly atrocious.
The AC is not law, and is not binding on employers in that regard. It would provide ammo in a subsequent lawsuit.
Yes, I assume everyone who gets fired gets an opportunity to explain themselves to the CP... they stop by his office on the way to the front door.
But in most of the cases the offender has no excuse.
