737 guys have gateway

Is Atlas still doing the exam before interview? There used to be a 50 question exam or something like that? Also I have a PRIA question. I left my previous US regional without 2 weeks notice due to a bereavement in my family which forced my hand and I had to resign which I did.

However when I went to my new job and they did a PRIA check it says I left INVOLUNTARILY due to a policy violation which is incorrect as I sent in a letter of resignation. I have pointed this out to them and am currently trying to get it changed to RESIGNED Voluntarily but obviously won’t be on the rehire list.

My question is if Atlas sees this before I can change it how bad is it likely to be for me with regards to getting employed there?

Obviously it’s better if they don’t see it but it is a genuine mistake on my previous airlines part but I don’t know if I will be able to fix it. Assuming I can’t (I’m trying) what is Atlas’ likely reaction to employing me?

Thanks to those who clarified my 737 Gateway question.

I think you are mixing up PRIA with a background check. PRIA is only supposed to provide information regarding flight-related issues if any (training, checking, violations). Eligibility for rehire due to lack of notice is not a PRIA issue but may come up during a background check. Curious why you didn't take bereavement or other leave which is usually granted without issue depending on circumstances, rather than quitting?

….or called in unfit for work aka sick if bereavement leave wasn’t approved fast enough.
In any case I doubt it matters.
I would mention it in the HR interview if the “anything we should be aware of” question comes around.

I did not take bereavement because I ended up back in Australia having to help out there, I’m not discussing private family business on a public forum but at the time it became impossible for me to return to the US and continue my position. You will just have to take my word for it

There is no cover up here, just a genuine question regarding a mistake on their part and some helpful advice would be appreciated.

I only resigned after I got home so was unable to give 2 weeks notice because I was already home and had days off when I flew home anyway.

I don’t want to mention it because it is GENUINLY WRONG on their part. I resigned and have sent in the resignation e-mail to them again showing this as when it happened and trying to get them to correct it.

Whomever coded the system with ‘Reason this pilot quit’ they entered incorrect information and I don’t want to have to try explain something that is blatantly false. I’m not accusing them of any shenanigans, I’m saying they messed up and need to fix this, believe me it happens!

I am genuinly worried about this because it’s blatantly False, the was a code of 109 or something saying Resignation Involuntary due policy violation. I’m wondering if anybody else has had this and how they corrected it. So far the company is telling me I need to appeal, why should I appeal something that never happened!

CaptYoda

I think the cause for appeal is that as you put it, the code was entered in error by the company. If you don't challenge via appeal or via other legal means it will remain on your file. Not sure how long ago this happened but maybe you can contact the CP office if you still know someone there? When Atlas or anyone does a background check it will show up perhaps, whether you are in the right or wrong. Now, it could remain in there and maybe a future employer won't care. That's a risk you will have to take if you don't have it changed to reflect what really happened. Also, how long a gap in employment after you left this company will be looked at. All the best.

I was in a new job 3 months after I left this company (regional airline) for another regional. I left the company where this happened in August 2018 but I only noticed the error recently going back thru my PRIA paperwork they sent me after I asked for a copy when the new company did their checks.

Believe it or not I was making sure everything was in order for a possible Atlas job. In your opinion being Atlas pilots, how do you think they would react to this problem of mine we are discussing? Can it be explained away or is HR likely to send me the TBNT e-mail after an interview?
