All will usually suffice. You are not the first person to repatriate. Again, airlines and their contracted background check agencies give wide latitudes on the background check for people in your situation, you are a highly valued commodity with unique circumstances that are easily reconciled.

Never an issue with a background check.

ALL airlines require you to have (bare minimum):
The right to work in the USA, ATP, FCC, 1st Class, 1500 hours. Preferably 4 year degree, 1K TPIC.
Unless your hours on the 330 are in the left seat, signing for the logbook, it means as much as flying your C152 VFR on your days off: it goes towards TT, that is it

I had zero issues returning. HR department knew exactly what to expect from overseas employer and proactively worked with me to get the background check done. They send the PRIA but there is no requirement that they actually receive anything back. If no answer in 30 days you are good. My overseas employer did not verify employment but paystubs sufficed for proof.

Hey guys,
So returning to this thread to give any more info for anyone else who might be needing it.
Finally ended up getting hired and started training with a legacy.
I’ve lived in the US and flew here for a bit while spending last several years in Europe. No issues with background check, they sent a PRIA request as I understand it, in the meantime my background check completed and I started Indoc. Halfway through Indoc I got an email informing me the PRIA request was completed. I assume they just didn’t get a reply because it was over a month and a half later.
In short, I can confirm what other gents have posted in this thread. I went
through the same process as all the guys working and living in the US, with no additional paperwork or requests from the company.
Goodluck everyone.

I didn’t have a PRIA issue, just an employment verification. I had them contact my contractor, no problem. References never hurt, but they’re hiring everyone that can fog a mirror at this point.
