Default DUI Conviction

Hello Everyone,

I am 23 years old and I have been convicted of 1 DUI for smelling like
alcohol pratically in New Hampshire, do I still have a shot at being a
commercial pilot?

No...you are NOT mentally fit. It doesn't sound like you are repentant
about this at all, have no morals and not willing to follow rules. Do us
all a favor and look for another profession.

You inferred all that from just one sentence? damn...

That one sentence told me that the OP is not only unrepentant, but marginally
illiterate. I certainly could be wrong, (and have been before) but I don't
think this person is prime airline material.

He said "commercial pilot."

If anybody doesn't think there are successful commercial pilots out here
who have been in trouble with the law--or simply didn't get caught--and
who don't exhibit textbook grammar and punctuation on the usenet, I
suggest they check the archives.

Yes, legally. If the conviction was before November 29, 1990, or it was the
only conviction, or it was not the only conviction but it was separated from
any previous conviction(s) by at least three years, you can still obtain a
license. See FAR 61.15.

The FAA is surprisingly lenient towards alcohol abusers, as opposed to its
attitude towards, say, asthmatics. I suppose there are more alcoholics than
asthmatics at the agency.

Whether an airline will hire you with a history of substance abuse is a
separate question for which I do not have an answer.

If you are hired, please name the airline that hired you here, so that I can
avoid it in the future.

Asthmatics generally don't have a problem with the FAA.

Some people on the forum act like they've never gotten away with doing
something really stupid when they were young and immortal.
