GLA training not PRIA reportable?

[FurloughedAgain]

There are still airlines that don't pay during training? I would expect it from Gulfstream... but XJT??

That is an embarrassment.

1) First of all, I hate when people say "discuss" on these forums. Well duh, what else will we be doing unless we all choose to ignore you.

2) Here's what the FAA has to say about it.

From the FAA;

Hired and Employed. For all practical purposes under PRIA, the terms “hired” and “employed” both refer to that point in time when a pilot has been offered, and has accepted, a position as a pilot with an operator. Under the drug and alcohol testing regulations, “hire” is defined as “retaining an individual for a safety-sensitive function as a paid employee, as a volunteer, or through barter or other form of compensation” (see part 121, appendix I, and appendix J).

For the purpose of furnishing records, any U.S. air carrier operating under 14 CFR part 121 or 135, any U.S. air operator operating under 14 CFR part 125, other person or trustee in bankruptcy for an operator that employed the individual as the pilot of a civil or public aircraft at any time during the 5-year period before the date of the individual’s employment application.

Your previous employer(s) will be asked to provide records pertaining to you (other than those related to flight time, duty time, or rest time). They will provide records on your performance as a pilot concerning your training, qualifications, proficiency, and professional competence, including any comments or evaluations by check airmen; any
disciplinary actions that were not overturned; and any release from employment or resignation, termination, or disqualification from employment.

Your information on the PRIA is essentially correct. My experience with the PRIA is to not to make comments that will come back and bite you in the butt if your are a evaluator or business. If I am sent a PRIA, I expect it to cover the period from the date of that application and go back 5 years. I should not see a record from an air carrier, 121 or 135 that you worked at 7 or 10 years ago from that date. Despite what the law says, you can be sued for making opininated comments that no one knows if that is true or you had an ax to ground.

This experience comes from my mesa days, chief pilot experience, and now Fredex management. Good luck.
