that seems odd they would make you do that at a flight school but might as well do it and see what comes up. You have to be fingerprinted to work at any air carrier anyway.. Although nothing turned up on mine its interesting just for curiousity sake what the fbi keeps track of.

Yes, every student has to be fingerprinted. We had to fill out a questionaire and get fingerprinted at orientation. I have no clue as to exactly how many flight schools have to do this. DCA is trying to keep their butts safe from the FAA, FBI and Homeland Security. I feel that they are trying not to have a repeat of 9/11 and having the government find out that these dudes were training at your school. It probably came from the top brass up in CVG and maybe even from DL.
i dont know what other peoplew stance is on this. but i am 100% against it. Feels more like we have to prove ourselves innocent of lawbreaking actions. no more is it innocent till proven guilty but guilty till proven innocent. besides to we really need anymore of our privacy taken away?

But wouldn’t you take solace in the fact that you know there is no reason that the TSA or might deny you a SIDA badge for a reason you might not even know was on your record? What's the point of spends tens of thousands of dollars for flight training and at the end of the day not being able to get the job you’ve been dreaming of? Almost like getting a 3rd class medical while training to be a commerical pilot. Why not pay a little more for the 1st class and be sure that you can pass it before paying for all the training. Just seems like common sense to me.
