I recently was asked about an RTD test result under the Drug & Alcohol tab of my PRD profile...whaaaa? RTD means having previously failed or refused a test.
Never happened! While I was in ground school for this 135 operator in '15 they sent me for a random and it came up negative.
This record shows it was only introduced into PRD in Spring of '23! No telling if this prevented me from getting interviews or offers - of course I answered no to any such questions, and carriers will not necessarily ask you to explain something like this.
I reached out to the operator and they agreed it was some sort of clerical error. I "requested a correction" in PRD with an explanation of the true state of affairs, and now the record shows "correction approved" and still sits there in my profile. What a POS system!
Leidos runs this thing and they state that the cryptic "correction approved" closes it out - I want it to be removed entirely and am pushing back.
I suggest all of you dig in your PRD and check this crap out. Have to click "Experience" tab to get the "Drug & Alcohol" tab to appear. You should have zero records there if your record is clean.
Excellent advice. Over the next year operators will be putting in historical records. If you are not already at your destination carrier you should be checking it routinely and disputing errors.
That's disappointing to hear that even after the erroneous record is fixed it remains in the system to alarm HR.
