Definitely not fact, just observation, and not taking anything away from the job of a sim instructor.
That makes sense. Thanks for the input.

friend of line recently put in his notice. He received an email stating, in part, something along the lines of “do NOT call out sick during your notice or you will be ineligible for rehire and other companies will be given a bad review of you.”
I can understand not rehiring someone because they bailed.. but giving bad reviews?? Is that even legal?
and let’s say, my friend is legitimately sick, and unsafe to fly. Or falls down the stairs and breaks his leg. Or gets Covid. They’d rather have someone sniffling and sneezing and on crutches limping in and collapsing into the cockpit than have a safe and healthy pilot??!

I’ve heard this too, it seems like a terrible liability for the company to put that in writing. I’m surprised a company attorney didn’t catch that one. I understand they’re desperate right now but I can’t imagine the FAA would look very favorably on that.

its not legal. 2 companies don’t call your prior job to ask if you work there. They all use third party services to run the employment check. That check only gives dates. A 2 week notice isn’t a legal requirement. Lastly who cares if you aren’t rehire-able at mesa. It’s mesa for god sakes.

it’s likely coming from the chief pilots.

I have heard of similar threats in some GA/135 operations, it is text book defamation of character if they do this to a pilot and virtually any attorney would not hesitate to take a case like this. No airline is going to actually go out of their way to bad mouth a pilot with the intention of causing their employment prospects to be endangered, they know the rules. Fear tactics is all it is.

On that subject do people get paid out for remaining sick and vacation time?

Looks like the EJET requirement has been lifted so CRJ pilots can now flow to United just like EJET pilots

Where was that posted? You’d still need the UAX hours.

Yeah I don’t buy that. Proof? Why would United incentivize pilots to do AAs most profitable flying?
