What do "background checks" include?
I'm trying to assemble the essentials of airline pilot background checks. I've come up with the below summary, but I'd like feedback from the troops here on APC. Am I missing anything? Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks... FD
Before stepping foot in your airline of choice's cockpit, you have to pass a background check. The records being sought on you cover seven areas: 1. Flying background 2. Criminal history 3. Driving record 4. Credit history 5. Drug testing 6. Education history 7. Civil record (lawsuits) The sources of this info come from: 1. FAA 2. FBI 3. DMV 4. National Driver Register 5. Credit bureaus 6. Former employers 7. College education records 8. Part 141 flight school records 9. Military records An FBI background check was mandated by the Air Transportation Security Act in the wake of September 11th. This check goes back 10 years. |
Some airlines also look at your civil record, ie lawsuits. They want know if you make a habit of suing you employers, and they are also interested to see if you maybe got sued for something you did that that was unethical or criminal in nature...just because you didn't get convicted or indicted, doesn't mean you're innocent.
Also they will probably check references with past non-aviation employers as well. So when you're finally ready to quit driving for Dominoes, don't be like Judge Reinhold in Fast Times... |
Good addition, rickair7777. Added.

Posting history at APC. I hear that's very important.

Others that might be included:
Employment history (including non-flying positions) Education history (as stated on your resume) Military history |
