I would assume that if the violation was directly related to flight safety, it could subjectively have an impact. School policies are tailored to parallel compliance with FAA rules and insurance requirements. It all depends on the severity and if additional training, following the violation, can reasonably suffice as step towards avoiding similar violations in the future. Proper and accurate documentation can be very helpful in the future.

There’s a lot going on here. Biggest question I have was did you have a SIDA badge? If so, did you go through a formal training process? Were police or airport security involved? Because you didn’t violate a company policy, you violated TSA/Homeland Security regulations.

There’s a former instructor who swiped and drove through a gate. Didn’t wait for it to close and it stayed stuck open. Airport police checked the logs and found out who it was. He got a visit from Homeland Security. His badge was revoked and he’s unemployable in the industry.

If it was reported in PRIA, your best bet is saying you were never trained on airport access. Unless you signed something that shows you were. Then you’re going to have to talk about lessons learned. If it wasn’t reported and you’ve already found another job then it was a better opportunity (not a lie, having a job is better than not.)

Unfortunately your vagueness makes it difficult to give you solid advice.

But regardless, I have had multiple people with a lot worse than being fired for jumping a fence hired this year - so IMHO this isn’t a show stopper.

What was the violation?

[-]

General_Bar_3958@reddit (OP)

The gate to the ramp was broken and would not open so I made a stupid decision and jumped the fence

Why is that a violation?

[-]

Da_hoodest_hoodrat@reddit

If I had to guess, it’s a towered airport where you need badge clearance onto any of the ramps. Schools can lose their whole ramp access if they violate airport badge policies. Definitely a big no no lol

So, when you “recently left” you were fired?

ltcterry@reddit

You left because of a company policy violation? They violated and you quit? Or you violated and “left” in lieu of getting fired? Assuming the latter.

Probably not a good look. Bad news doesn’t get better with age. If an application asks you need to be honest.

I violated policy, should I go back in my applications and put that information or should I wait until they ask in an interview?

ltcterry@reddit

If you were fired and lied about it on an application, disclosing that in an interview will probably get you sent on home.

Essentially a violation of airport security and you’re looking for an aviation job, in a very over saturated market. Airline people don’t like surprises.

This is a copy of the original post body for posterity:

I’m currently at a crossroads and would appreciate some guidance. I recently left the flight school where I was instructing due to a company policy violation. How might this impact a CJO from a regional airline or my prospects in an interview? Would it be better to proactively disclose this, or wait until a class date or further inquiry?
