Depends I think on state law. Some allow that, some don't.
Regionals and some majors probably don't bother. Better majors probably do look at that (if state law permits).

Did you just file bankruptcy? Quite a few pilots have them from the lost decade and previous downturns but most of those will have already disappeared from credit reports. Credit checks seem to be a part of background checks at the big 3 but unless you have negative events which are very recent I don't think they amount to much.
