So there I was, 20,000 feet minding my own business, and she finally took her shirt off!

Back to the background check stuff. I just pulled my OMPF (official military personnel file). It had all of my traffic tickets I disclosed as part of my application for a commission. I only remember one of them, but there were a total of three (all from the late 90's), so I went ahead and threw those on my application with Delta.

Right now my app with Delta has 10 times the effort and details as what will get you a TS/SCI.

Yeah, but Delta does not shut itself down once a year when they have to approve a budget.

Will Delta actually have access to your OMPF, or were you just checking that yourself to be thorough? I know they will get all the PRIA info from any civilian carrier you've worked for, but what info do they get from the military other than what is on your DD-214, fitness reports, and training records that you provide at the interview?

Being that this is the DAL hiring page I have a question to the DAL guys.

I have a friend who applied to be a FA. But their process is backwards from ours. If you want to refer anyone the EMPLOYEE has to start the process via ebid. Since she's applied I'm told that my input is out of the question.

Any way around this? I'll send a letter w/ her if she makes it to the interview but it just seams bass ackwards to me.

Baja.

BTW - If hired, you all will be stoked if you know what I mean. ;-)

That would be really creepy if they asked for the OMPF. Right up there with asking for your facebook password.

I don't know what they want or don't want. I would think the DD-214 + a logbook + NATOPs jacket should suffice. If they want FitReps, that I also find a little invasive, but I wouldn't have a problem handing them over. If they invite me for an interview, I'll follow the instructions.

The point of what I wrote, is rather than paying for a background check on myself. And rather than sweating whether or not I disclosed everything, it is an alternate method to look up those pesky tickets that I forgot about.

Ya, and now the Gov. is shut down. Just my luck, I have had quite a stellar career with bad timing.

Sad.

But it reminded me of the scene in "Authur"

Burt Johnson: I don't drink because drinking affects your decision-making.
Arthur: You may be right. I can't decide.

Makes sense to me, I was just wondering if you had a personal experience of someone asking for or getting access to your OMPF. I would think that would be impossible, I was just wondering. Probably smart to see what's on it just in case.
