When an airline inquires about training failures, it’s reasonable to assume that they’re referring to checkride failures, as well as 141 stage checks. However, what about Part 61 school stage checks? These aren’t considered official stage checks from the FAA’s perspective; they’re simply the school’s internal procedures. Should I bring these up during the interview as well?

If not, you’re going to need it eventually. See the attached step by step guide to getting yours today!

Check out our latest content in the Classroom Tab! Interview Study Guides and Quick Reference Sheets built for each of the airlines. Right now we just have it for the majors but be on the lookout for content on the regionals coming out soon!

When an airline inquires about any incidents or accidents, do they specifically mean NTSB-reportable ones (and those that appear on the PRD) or are they also interested in including minor fender-bender incidents? For instance, if I accidentally scratched a wingtip on a post, I’m concerned that some job descriptions require no incidents within the past five years, which could potentially disqualify me.

If you are applying for a job then you absolutely should!!! It’s ALWAYS a good idea to double check PRD PRIOR to submitting your airline applications to double check your PRD work history matches your application, matches resume AND there aren’t any surprises! Safe flying!
