Pilot records at foreign carriers
Does anyone know if foreign carriers are able to obtain FAA training and and accident / incident records as well as 121 air carrier PRIA records?
Asking for a freind.

Probably not directly, they would most likely have to go through you. I believe PRIA only requires the records be given to other U.S. carriers, not foreign carriers. It is doubtful any U.S. airline would willingly give out your records to a non-U.S. entity as doing so without the protection of the law would expose them to potential liability. Getting a U.S. company to confirm anything other than dates of employment can be difficult for that very reason. They do not want to risk getting sued for unnecessarily revealing anything that might be in dispute or could cause you harm.

Actually what happens more often than not is the applicant has to get letters from the FAA him/herself. One would be a verification letter and another is a no incident/accident letter.
One comes from AFS-760 Airman Certification and the other from AFS-620 Aviation Data Systems.

Very dependent on the local CAA and how they choose to operate.
