Colgan Air Records?
Back when I was in college (2012) for my Aviation Degree, I worked the Desk/Ramp for Colgan Air. I had a week of time off approved for a NIFA National Flight Competition. As it was the end of my graduating semester and I would be leaving Colgan to start my CFI work in another city, I turned in my 2 weeks notice. I was told my the station manager that since my NIFA competition would take place in the last week of that 2 week notice, that he would technically have to recommend me for "do not rehire". Being a brand new Commercial Pilot, I was not about to turn down the 15-20 free flight hours I was going to get going to NIFA Nationals.
Since Colgan/Mesaba/Pinnacle went under and came out of Chapter 11 as Endeavor, do you think this would affect any application I would submit as a FO for Endeavor now? Any ideas how long those records would be kept, or if they were kept at all?
Thanks!

Thats pretty specific.
I wouldn't be surprised if some recruiters read this board and can figure out who you are. I wouldnt try to hide it or anything.
That being said, seems like a reasonable explanation.
