You have to disclose it, here's why. When listing you're previous employment they're going to ask for a start and end date, when your new airline verifies employment chances are they'll discover the discrepancy. This type of thing has ended badly for a lot of people.
Just be up front with them and they'll let you know if it matters. Most are so desperate in sure they'll work with you as long as you're not deceitful. Although, come to think of it, my soon-to-be airline employer has not called me to verify my own employment with myself ;) |

You make good points. I guess it's easier for me...I own my own company, so I am my own employer of record for the past couple years.

That may come much later. Don't be surprised if that call doesn't come till your well into training. No point in conducting any background investigation until you at least show up for class.

Good point! But I was thinking about an answer like: I still provide engineering consulting on my time off. What would be wrong with this?

I shall be sure to give myself a good reference, then...:cool:
As for self employment, I left the 142 job in February and have done freelance work while interviewing and waiting for a class date (In addition to a pilot, I'm a safety consultant and freelance author). Two airlines required statements from my clients that I was self-employed and a freelancer. |

Nothing. If your LOA and continued employment is related to that, no worries. What you don't want is an airline reconciling employment dates on your background check learning that your previous employer thinks you're still a full-time employee. You don't want the airline to think that you're gaming the system...it raises the integrity question. It is possible that some or most regionals simply won't care at this point. But I wouldn't try it with a major. |

But I wouldn't try it with a major. I can disclose to the airline about my previous employer: start date=X, end date=present. If they ask why "present" then I could say I still do some consulting on the side. But the regional airline could find out that I am still a full time employee and that would not be good! A major? No way I could even think about such a plan! Plus, I cannot tell my existing employer, you know what I am going to try an airline gig if things work out, well bye bye, if not see you in 3 months! |

Well, it was a good idea but at this point I may just quit to remove any risk.
