In this day of perpetual lawsuits, most "big corporation" type companies, at least outside of the aviation world, vitually refuse to say anything about a former employee other than he worked there during a specific period of time. I find it odd that any businessman would want to take on the possiblity of a lawsuit for something as subjective as a "bad attitude". Then again I met plenty of lousy businessmen in the aviation world.

The legal question is this:
Is this person re-hirable, yes, no? If they spill more than that they open themselves up to litigation. |

I was frustrated about the lack of work and was not going to sit in the office by the phone waiting for new students with out pay. I took a 135 job and that was 8 months ago.

Got a lawyer buddy who can write something up for you? As far as I know, you're previous employer can only say "yes he worked here", not "yes he worked here and he's a peckerhead".

You won't be hired at Eagle they don't tolerate that kind of stuff you have to have a clean record even if it wasn't your fault

You should take the flight school to court.

The packet at Eagle has a "will not hold liable" type thing to sign off. The PRIA information they send to previous flying jobs includes a checklist with questions like: Did this person follow procedures, did this person show up to work on time, did he work well with others....etc. I was rejected by the review board at Eagle after a successful interview and I suspect this had something to do with it. Good luck, hope you fare better than I did. |
My last job was a scheduled 135 gig that I only did for about 4 months before getting hired at my current job. I wasn't under a training contract, I got along with everyone, I gave them two weeks notice, and the chief pilot even wished me the best of luck on my last day when I turned in my badge. However, when the PRIA stuff came back from them there was an HR paper in there and they had checked a box saying I wasn't eligible for rehire with a comment underneath saying something about how no one who resigns voluntarily is eligible for rehire.
Kind of a dumb policy for a company but, hey, that's their business. My current employers didn't say anything about it. |
Was this at OK State?

No, it was not OK State.
