1 is there a way to see if we are on the Do Not Rehire list

2 would being on that list affect me being hired at a legacy

-I only called in sick one time and it was after I put in my two weeks and my base supervisor was mad I didn't give a doctors note

Reapply and see what happens.

Probably won’t affect you but remember aviation is a small industry.

1. Contact the Union, they could probably find out for you. If not HR may answer your question or just completely ignore you.

2. No, they would have no clue and that is not something that would be on your PRIA

Funny, I called in sick after giving my notice and they were like "why did you send this you are leaving any way?" But yes, depending on how much of a doucebag your Chief Pilot is they very well could have put something in your record that would put you on that list.

I've run into this before, personally. Once involved a company for whom I didn't work for long; I left and applied elsewhere, and was given an offer. Shortly after that, the offer was pulled. When I enquired, I was told that my former employer said I wasn't eligible for rehire. I called the former employer, and spoke to the Chief Pilot, who advised that they were shutting down, and weren't hiring anybody. I asked him to make a a call to the new employer, which he did, and I was subsequently brought on board.

"Will not rehire" doesn't necessarily mean one has been a bad employee, or that one is a poor prospect; it may have a lot to do with the former employers policies.

One of the best employers for whom I have ever worked, will not rehire me. The employer has a strict policy that they will not take back any employee who has left, and they don't make exceptions. We parted on good terms. It doesn't hinder my future employment; theirs is one of policy.

A re-hire status maybe a mistake; don't overlook that possibility. It may be worth contacting the employer, or going through a union.

If you can get letters of recommendation from a former employer (ideally from management on company letterhead), it goes a long way to mitigating a "will not re-hire." You can also seek letters from pilots you knew there; the higher the status of the letter-writer, the better, so captain or check airman is best. It's a good policy to get a letter where ever you work, though not by any means necessary. Just good practice, if the employer will write one.

Somewhat related to this, I'm finishing training with one carrier and just received and accepted a CJO from another. As expected, the new carrier is requiring a PRIA request be sent to my current employer. Is it likely my current employer immediately removes me from training/terminates me upon receiving the request? How long does it take PRIA requests to process? There's some time between now and my class date and unemployment isn't ideal. Not really sure what to expect.
