Yes they know...Im not saying thats possible, but those guys usually dont have a clue.

 

Big deal... that's just their opinion.

Nobody knows. Just sit back and wait to see what happens.. nothing any pilot can do about it anyway.

 

I am not an HR expert but I do know a little about labor laws and I don't think a "performance evaluation" is widely legal beyond.."Did so and so work there as a pilot?" and "Would you rehire this person?" 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....

 

Fair enough

*facepalm*

 

I would have to agree with RickAir on this one

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???

 

Dashgirl not illegal to say disparaging things, just not smart. There is a civil risk of libel and slander so most companies have a policy of not being specific. If you were a bad employee and it was documented there is no confidentiality required.

 

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.

 

That actually depends a great deal on where you live. In Ohio, it is absolutely illegal to provide negative information on a former employee beyond what I already mentioned.
