If you join AOPA they will advise you on this or will point you to the
people who can.


I like Hawkeye's answer better. Calling the FAA is free. AOPA is an excellent
choice for those who are actually flying, but I wouldn't join unless I was
pretty sure I was going to fly. What if they say nobody has ever done it?
That's a lot of money for a membership that may not be useable.

I see this from two sides: 1) two DUIs are unexcusable. People who drink and
drive and then drink and drive again are bound to do it yet again. I don't want
to share the sky with such a person.

2) OTOH, we all do stupid things when we're young. The only difference between
Tony and myself is that he got caught. And knowing that, I also know mistakes
made at an early age don't have to be repeated. I stopped drinking and driving
when I was in my early 20s and in fact seldom drink at all today. People can
change.

So it's a crapshoot. I don't know how the FAA is going to look at this but I'd
be inclined to forget his youthful indiscretions. One other DUI though... and
it's out on his ass. But that's just my opinion.
