I can attest to having had to be constantly checking on Sterling and providing a number of "last minute" affidavits due to their "inabilities". It was a little frustrating to say the least. I believe it had even reached the point where B6 was doing the FAA Pria paperwork themselves, taking that part of the process out of Sterlings hands as most folks had hang ups there. By the sounds of it thus far the new entity seems to be on the ball. Hopefully it's a welcomed transition.

It should be. GIS is who we were using back when I was hired in '07 and that part of the process was much smoother than everyone has reported with Sterling. Welcome aboard, looking forward to seeing everyone in class.

Does anyone know the process they use to contact former 121 employers, do they just ask for PRIA paperwork, or actually call your old chief pilot and ask about sick calls, and other issues that may be in your file? I heard delta does this to see how reliable your attendance was.

I called my employer and asked. He said all it was just the forms we filled out for PRIA and drug and alcohol stuff. Just mail, no calls. He did say other companies have sent other forms with questions and followed up with a phone call but it looks like it's straight forward with JB/GIS... Hope this helps and best of luck!

I heard there was no drug test at the last interview. Do they do this after or during Phase II now?

Doesn't surprise me. I think the drug tests are only good for 6 months and they finally realized that many new-hires needed another test when they reported for training in Orlando.

No drug test at the interview. Im a couple weeks into phase 2 and haven't been told to go take one so I assume that'll happen once we arrive at training...
