Anyone know what the difference is between an FBI fingerprint check, and an FAA fingerprint check?

AFAIK, there is no FAA finger print check. I have never been given one. Could it be for the TSA, or whoever is asking you to do it is mis-speaking?
 
Well I got an offer of employment for first officer. The email satiated that i must pass a drug test and a successful FAA fingerprint check. I’m just assuming it’s the FBI fingerprint check, but I’m not sure.
 
I'm pretty sure it is a TSA deal that then will get matched to any FBI prints you've done in the past. If you have done any FBI prints in the past, expect a delay.
 
It's just the standard FBI fingerprint check. It contains arrest records, if something went to trial and the final disposition of a charge, not a big deal. As long as you never been arrested for the 20 some odd TSA no-no offenses you'll be fine.
 
Hey thanks for the info guys. I don’t have any arrests on my record, the only reason I was asking was because I’ve never heard of such a thing. My coworker had something on his record that wasn't supposed to be there (identity theft), after that I got an FBI check on myself and it came back clean. Just was a little paranoid i guess, specially sine I will have to sign a contract..
 
It's just a standard background check for an airline job. TSA wants to make sure you who you say you are and don't have anything serious in your past. However, TSA themselves can have serious criminal offenses in their past and still be screens. Go figure
 
Baron Biometrics (in the Phoenix area) offers one-of-a-kind 'concierge-style' on-demand mobile biometric fingerprinting strictly for the TSA/NATA/TSC/etc, and we have people actually fly into Phoenix & Scottsdale AZ just to take advantage of our service (seriously, no joking)...
The overall costs are $99 to register with www.natacompliance.com, and then our charge of $60 www.baronbiometrics.com/services.html to perform the process ink-and-paper-free at a business office location. Your fingerprints are usually at the TSC's servers within 33 seconds, and there's no cards/forms to ship or worry about. We truly have a one-of-a-kind service here in AZ for the aviation sector, and I'm proud of that - because I'm the owner. - RS
 
How does one "pass" an FBI background check? What constitutes a pass or a failure?

Depends on what they find in your background as far as offenses and can they verify who you are. I'm in the system in so many places it isn't funny (all legit though).

The thing I think is BS is that they can't share information. I get finger printed at Airline A, got to B get finger printed again, get CCW get finger printed again, etc, etc, etc.
