The Air Carrier Employment Verification utilizes FAA forms 8060-11, 8060-11a and 8060-12 to obtain employment verifications, PRIA records, and information regarding Drug and Alcohol Program violations and return to duty test results from current/previous employer(s) for which the candidate was employed as a pilot within the past 5 years.

Did you know

Between 1987 and 1994, US Air Carrier industry suffered at least 7 fatal commercial airline accidents due to the absence of background checks being conducted on pilots. Reviews later revealed that the Pilots involved had prior safety violations and/or training problems. As a result, Congress passed the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996, commonly referred to the Pilot Records Improvement Act of 1996 (PRIA). PRIA Authorizes the mandatory gathering and sharing of records from the FAA and previous employers, which allows an air carrier to make an informed decision before extending a firm offer of employment to a pilot applicant.

FAQ

Q: Do I need to order a standard Employment Verification in addition to the Air Carrier Employment Verification in order to receive verification of employment details in addition to obtaining PRIA Records and Drug and Alcohol Program records?
A: No. Info Cubic's Air Carrier Employment Verification not only requests the PRIA records from the Pilot Candidate's current/previous Air Carrier employers and receives Drug and Alcohol Program information, it also includes a verification of the Candidate's employment detais, such as title, start and end date and reason for leaving. You do not need to order separate products to obtain this information.

 

Q: If the Current/Previous Employer does not provide the required PRIA records and drug and alcohol program information in the legally required 30-day time period, how will Info Cubic help us prove a Good Faith Effort to the FAA?
A: Info Cubic's PRIA Verifiers clearly and consistently document all attempts made to the Source in the report so it is visible and available to you. We make multiple valid attempts per day and communicate any and all ETA updates provided. At day 15, if we have not reached the appropriate person at the Air Carrier and have not received an ETA, we will send a Certified Letter with a Return Receipt which will be documented in the search as well. If the employer has not provided the reqyuired records in 30 days, the search will be Completed as "Unable to Verify", you will be promptly notified, and all attempts will be documented so that you can prove that we made sufficient attempts to reach the company.
