PRIA question
 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated here. Without going into too many details, I was hired by Compass but shortly after orientation they basically rescinded their job offer due to my instrument checkride bust not being on my application. I was not even out there for ground school yet however I was in the process of the at home study unit. Now I'm concerned that for each future job I will have to fill out PRIA work for Compass and it will come up that I did not complete training which would not look good. I don't want to hide anything but feel like PRIA work is kind of unnecessary since I hadn't even really started ground school. Thoughts? Thanks!

Well, did you fail to mention to Compass that you had failed the instrument practical test? If so, it doesn't appear you have learned anything about being completely truthful in job applications.

Honesty is always the best policy. I would put it in the paperwork since at one point you were employed by Compass.

Honesty is the best policy but I don't know if he was employed by them or not. Not to play semantics but there is a difference between firing and rescinding a job offer.

Did you have a Compass badge with an employee number and/or receive any income from them?

And how haven't I learned my lesson? I wasn't trying to hide anything then and I'm not trying to hide anything now. Just wanted to know how this would come up in PRIA.

If you receive a check with 'Compass Airline' anywhere on it....you were employed by them. Other than that don't report it.

Not to be picky, however I was reviewing the app on the Compass site, there is a question about background and PRIA checks "would this be acceptable to you?" They use the drill down method for yes/no. Where in the process did they ask you about a failed check ride?
Is it that big of a time span where he can't bury it? Always better to fess up.

Well call it what you will, bottom is line is I'm no longer employed. I did get a badge and I did receive pay (1 day for orientation) Seems like this might screw me over for something that I thought was already on the application when I turned it in just because it took them a couple weeks to let me go.

That sucks. Just curious why you didn't disclose that you failed your instrument check ride? That seems to be what everyone here is wondering. When the app asks, "have you ever failed training or a checkride?" why did you choose to hide the bust? Dumb move.

I would have said that no, you were not employed doing home study but if they gave you a badge and paid you, then yes I suspect you were employed.

You might want to rethink the airlines as a career option, at least for the time being. This could make it very hard.

I'll move this to "Ask The Pilot Recruiter" and see what Lori has to say...
