Yea, it’s tough to say and you may not know until you obtain that copy from them.
On rare occasions I’ve heard of errors happening. Prior to Covid I had a hiccup during the background check process when I was applying to another regional airline. I forgot what exactly happened, but the regional in question said they needed to rerun the background check on me as they believed it was in error, regarding a previous non aviation employer or something, idk, can’t remember the details. I was still hired on, everything checked out with them regarding the background check, but I got a little scared because I’m like there’s nothing fishy in my background, no criminal record, etc. etc. so I couldn’t figure out what the issue may have been while I was waiting. But it did delay me getting started. I ended up leaving them anyway after Covid went into full swing and applied to a different carrier after hired picked up later on.
