Smaller companies may not do that, in which case I guess you just tell the prospective employer that they went BK and provide the last known address.

Hi Lori,

Can you confirm that the PRIA is still at five years unless they have changed it recently.

Thanks

First, let me say thanks to Lori and whoever else is responsible for putting this section together. I perused quite a bit of it recently and there is lots of good info. I appreciate the resource being out there.
I am likely to be out of a job in a few months and so I am getting my ducks in a row. I am in the process of getting copies of my FAA pilot records and NDR just to ensure everything is what I think it is. I am wondering if the records the FAA will give me is anything different that what a prospective employer would see on a PRIA. Any insight appreciated. Thanks!

It makes me wonder how exactly is the FAA going to change these background check regs with the new bill, if we can't even find out exactly what the new employer sees. I'm guessing if you really want info you have to talk to the present employer and ask them what they have for your background.

FAA records and PRIA are two separate issues, I believe they don't have anything to do with each other.

When you fill out each PRIA form for each past employer there should be a box to check indicating that you want copies of whatever records are returned. Those would come from the employer, not the FAA.

A check of your FAA records will generally only show certs/ratings, medical, and violations not any training details.
