The problem with Eagle is as soon as they give you your tentative offer they fax out something to your current employer asking for a performance evaluation so they basically force your hand telling your current employer you are planning on going to Eagle. I was going to wait untill after I passed the regional jet course and got a firm class date before giving my notice to my employer but that went right out the window when they recieved the performance evaluation.

The only other type of info that they can share are your training records via PRIA. I'd be really surprised that a company as large as Eagle would want to risk any discriminatory liability issues by asking too much of a current or former employer. And as I already stated, most companies won't say much on an inquiry like that anyway for their own liability concerns. Almost everywhere I have worked has had a "neutral reference policy" in place for this sort of thing.

In nearly every state it is illegal to make any disparaging or negative remarks about a current or former employer to a new prospective employer beyond "no we would no rehire this person." Though there are holdouts like Illinois.

So I doubt such an evaluation is going out but I am probably wrong. But more towards the point, it is not reasonable for a person to expect to be able to keep their job search a secret from their current airline in such an industry. And frankly, as uncaring for individuals positively or negatively as regional airlines are, to worry about your current one knowing you are looking or potentially leaving is a little paranoid. They don't care about you as to them you are nothing more then a number on a seniority list.

I never said I currently work for an airline. I work in an office so Im not just a number. And they are sending the evaluation out. I saw it and my supervisor saw it because he had to send it back to them via fax. With that being said now Im in a position where I have to ask for my old job back because I got called for training and then eagle canceled. luckily I didnt burn any bridges at my current job so they are gonna see if they can get me back on even though they hired my replacement already

They have you sign a waiver that says they can ask....

This is a good example of why you never give more than the accepted minimum two weeks notice in aviation, unless you have a very special relationship with the employer. Once you resign, they don't have to let you un-resign.

I might go as far as to tell my employer I'm going on vacation for a few weeks till I know for sure its a solid deal. That's if you can ask for one. Maybe go sick for awhile???

Be careful with that, people have been fired from their new job when the company found out they still had the old job. They go from having 2 jobs to none. Probably comes from the "outside flying" clause in most company's GOM.
