Yes, it is all coordinated with HR. We have only training center records, anyway.

Thanks for the caution, tho, always welcome.

As long as it relates to 'PERFORMANCE' that is aviation related. They are not supposed to report things like

1. Poor attendance record or calling sick for reserve frequently etc
2. Fired for insubordination or bad attitude etc
3 Anything that DOES NOT relate to actually flying a plane, sim or some
kind of training event or ground operation like a walk around violation of some kind.

There is an FAA advisory circular (AC NO. 120-68F) that describes all of this.

 

I dont even think they will report if you were fired as long as it is not aviation/operations related such as violations, incidents, drunken flying etc.

I was told they would not report employment records such as fired for poor attendance or non operations related details due to the fear of being sued.

However maybe others have had different experiences.

 

I recently was hired by a 135 operator and recied copies of my PRIA records after being on line for a month. I did opened them up a little later. I was surprised to see a drug test result in the file. I did not even now that it said "diliuted sample" negative. I do not even remember the day of the test. This was from a regional carrier that I am no longer employed with. My current employer did not say anything at all. Main question: Is this an issue with any future employers?

 

A valid point, as I've contacted former employers listed on an applicant's history, only to learn that A) the applicant never worked there and B) that's not the company the applicant said it was. The applicant was not hired. Even one case in which it turned out that the "airlines" that the applicant "flew" for were virtual...as in didn't exist. He'd put on a uniform every day, sat down at a computer and flown an online "virtual" airline, logged it, and put it in an application as experience. Forget PRIA...the "employer" might not exist at all.

No, it's not. Or, it shouldn't be. What matters to a particular employer is really up to the employer. They're the one doing the hiring.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

I don't think I've ever received a copy of records as a result of checking the box, and I've checked it every time, since the program began.

Ever.

Not once.

 

Probably not, could be you just hydrated a lot. I bet most or all of my Navy drug tests are diluted since I pound water to ensure I can produce the sample during their desired timeframe.

 

I did. Once.

 

I have every time I've checked it. Three so far. I just went through another carrier and declined them this time around.

 

Thanks for the input.

 

Sometimes peoples’ ignorance amazes me. What was his reason for listing a virtual airline?
