AFAIK they have three A310F they operate themselves. All the other flying (747F) is being wetleased from Atlas and TNT.

Question

Someone on another thread brought the subject of background checks on US pilots. Does anybody know what's involved (besides from checking your referees)? Is it PRIA type (can my company here even release that information to a foreign carrier?).Just curious. Thanks!

All EK did with me is check my refs. They ask you to provide them with original letters from the FAA stating your validity of license/ratings/medical class and one from your employer verifying your times, once you join.

Since one of your references is someone in management from your current employer, they pretty much ask the questions contained in PRIA, anyway.
