Um, no, doesn't work that way.

How do you think it works? What does DAL do when they get a PRIA request from another airline for a new hire?

I have personal knowledge to back up my statement ...

This individual has already been hired by both carriers. He/she is just waiting on a class date. All PRIA requests have been sent out. There is no reason to disclose to Delta that they are in training at United.

They don't do..........ANYTHING.

When said pilot walks into the HR/CP (whatever) to tell them he's leaving, said pilot will be told "sorry to you see you go, wish you the best of luck".

What were the circumstances of your "personal knowledge"?

Never mind this;

If he's in class at carrier A, he HASN'T finished training yet. No PRIA request.

Yeah, I know. But they wouldn't ask for one anyway.

He was still in training when they received the PRIA request. Maybe the difference was because he was prior Horizin so part of AAG?

Also, Potatochip's point about already being hired doesn't quite make sense, as they don't send a PRIA request until after you are hired ... In fact, depending on the training backlog, there is a good likelihood that one has a job offer awhile before they are offered a class date, but during that interval, the PRIA requests are sent out.

Finally, don't you have to disclose to a potential new employer who your current employer is, even if you haven't finished training?

Need more details, that's vague.

AFAIK, Horizin or Horizon isn't part of AAG.

DOESN'T MATTER, I know more than one guy that's been in the EXACT scenario. And for them, it was EXACTLY as I described. It's happening, and it's NOT a big deal.

Again, vague. If so, so what? Two job offers, in class at A, waiting on class at B. B calls for the class date while in training A. Like it's so hard to tell them "great, can't wait to start. But just to update, I'm in training at A but you are who I really wanted to work for".

It's not rocket surgery.....
