PAKISTANI sues JetBlue! WOW!!!

[da90drivr]

IF what this guy says is true in that he had a plane ticket....he'd gone pretty far though the process, like a class date, right???

Somethings fishy.

Not really fishy at all , you may receive an offer of employment, class date, ticket etc. and even sit in class pending the final outcome of you background check.

And to the guys so willing to toss a guy to the curb because of his religion: do you really want this country headed that way? Where a person can be denied employment because of their religious beliefs?

Darn straight I do! This is America! If a company doesn't want to hire you because you have too many letters in your name, it is their RIGHT to do so. All of this PC crap has got to end, or it is going to take this great country right down the crapper. It is NOT the governments place to tell private companies and individuals how to conduct business... it is up to the businesses to decide & the marketplace to judge their decisions.

The unfortunate thing about background checks is "guilt by association." If this gentleman has relatives, friendships or acquaintances that have known connections with possible terrorist activity, then the company is justified in their decision. Jetblue will have to give an awful good reason why they pulled his trip to Orlando.

So far you are only hearing his side of the story.

I knew Faisal, too. He was a good guy. But when he had a problem in RJ training, his story and the story from the checkairmen were very different. His FO's story matched the checkairmen's.

It seemed to me at the time that Faisal wanted to play the victim. It looks like he stepped it up a notch this time.

Yet there are laws that counter your post....

You are a prime recruitment target for a hate group....

The founding fathers would be rolling their graves hearing crap like this. You act like you're a patriotic American but you refuse to have equal rights? Its not "PC crap", it's what this whole country stands for. Opportunity for everyone, fair shot no matter what your beliefs/skin color etc etc. I'm all for protecting this country, but this blind ignorance bull$hit has got to stop. Just pathetic.

The "market" has a poor record when it comes to worker safety, child-labor laws, envirionmental protections, discrimination based on age, sex ...

JetBlue does not owe this clown anything, he should be sueing OBL if he has a problem. Is he a citizen? that is a major issue in hiring these days.

Ditto on my class at JB....I was in class for over a week with an offer of employment that was tied to the completion of my background check.

It kinda scared me at first.....but I knew my background was clean and that I had told them everything they needed to know.

If JB found something in his background that mattered, it mitigated the employment offer. Further, I know of at least two guys who were turned down and later hired when the background check was straightened out.

Well in fairness the founding fathers were all for equal rights amongst WASP Males, Haji doesn't appear to meet the criteria.

Okay, Guys,

First of all we are obviously missing some facts here. Being part of the hiring process here at B6 for 2 years, NO ONE in HR is going to look you in the face and give you the reason you did not get hired. Your personal information is held in the utmost confidentiality, and it sounds like the facts are not complete. A person can get the axe in Phase 2 for training problems, discipline problems, driving problems, FAA certificate actions, etc... A thorough background check is just that--thorough! If a person does not get through Phase 2, they sometimes feel cheated, but the PHC makes their decisions on ALL the information presented. Sounds like sour grapes to me.
FWIW....
