If thats the case maybe said individuals conspiracy theories come from the fact that he junked up a couple departing pilot PRIA reports after they had already got another job, when confronted he apologized. No word if they have been corrected.

Something to consider if you are going to dip your toe in here at Allegiant for a little jet time before moving on: Your PRIA report may walk away with an STD!
You do realize any failure that goes on a pilots PRIA is signed by that pilot? A copy of what the pilot signs must be given to the pilot if requested. If what you claim has happened, that is falsifying a federal document. It is not as simple as "I am sorry" especially if this happens to multiple pilots that are simply separating employment. A track record of that would be malice and easy to prove.

"Overstaffed" is a matter of perspective...we haven't added much to the mix here, yet the flying is about to increase another 20% or so...

I like Allegiant's response these days. It's gone from;

"Our demanding schedule and hot summer temperatures are taxing our fleet", to;

"We have a team of mechanics investigating this occurrence", to;

"Our safety record is among the best in the industry", to;

"Ah, feck it, da' plane's busted- what of it?!"

I also heard another guy resigned and they indicated that he was terminated on his PRIA, more than just training on those things at AAY.

And nothing is "easy to prove".

These types of rumors always sound fishy to me. AAY doesn't pick what goes on a PRIA report, reportable is defined by the PRIA ACT. The only way a termination is reportable to PRIA is negative performance of pilot duties. Guess I will find out soon enough as I just resigned from AAY.

Heard an FO in PIE asked for his PRIA and was told no. He had to hire a labor lawyer. I don't know what the resolution was, but that's a far cry from being able to audit your file anytime you want.

Well that most certainly is not complying with the PRIA ACT. It would be interesting to see the out come. The PRIA specifically states they have to furnish records within 20 days, if they cannot furnish within 20 days they have to inform you why and the delay has to be reasonable. BUT the records have to be furnished within 30 days. These are calendar days not working days.

In the past, it was taking them 60-90 to furnish the records. There have been things placed on peoples' records that were not true that had been sent on to other airlines.

Management's response was they had made a mistake, and would fix it, eventually.

I agree and rest assured There have been many liberal interpretations of the law.

Another PRIA issue that did happen to a friend of mine is even though he had been type rated on a DC9 for many years, because many records were found to be lost over this last year it showed that he had only recently been type rated in a DC9. if you recall many of us were required to send certain certificates in over the last year.

Yes his certs say different, but this is bad.

I haven't been around long enough to experience that or know about the misplaced records.
