Re: Issues with Reference checks
Honesty is the best policy.beingcanadian wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2026 11:35 pm Hello folks,
I worked at a flight school as an instructor for about just 170 hours over 5 months and now working with a 704 Operator building turbine time.
My time as a flight instructor was gloomy, as I was suffering with unpaid wages, bad treatment and s o ultimately I had to leave with burnt bridges. The CP/Owner is a crook!
But my job as an airline pilot is going well!
My question is: How will this impact my reference checks if I apply at Encore? Can I ask my HR to avoid calling this flight school and being honest about it?
I am just a bit worried about not being able to progress further.
Please advise

Re: Issues with Reference checks
What a juvenile response. You have no idea. That’s why you should be honest.beingcanadian wrote: ↑Sun Jun 14, 2026 10:06 pmSure, but how will this pan out?CaptDukeNukem wrote: ↑Sun Jun 14, 2026 4:11 pmHonesty is the best policy.beingcanadian wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2026 11:35 pm Hello folks,

Better yet lie. Make sure it is a tangled web of lies you won’t be able to keep track of.
