That's correct.
But where PRIA does not apply, which I think means non-flight ops discipline, the state and local laws do apply. In some states you can only provide dates of employment, in others you can provide rehire eligibility, and some probably have no limits on what an employer can say... other than you can get sued if you lie about somebody, ie slander.
I think if you are in the right state, you could be chronically late and absent for show times, sexually harass your FA's, punch out your CP, and still not have to worry about the details getting out via PRIA...none of that stuff has anything to do with your flying skills, which might be stellar. I think if you get fired, the details behind that are fair game.
