If the conviction was before November 29, 1990

When he was 5? Another example of your inferior thought process.

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

What if he wasn't hired here?

Doesn't matter. You already avoid all airlines.

If only he'd avoid ambiguity...

Mixed up -could- avoid the group pleeeeaaaase

Given the abilities of today's crop of students, I doubt the OP's writing skills
will significantly impact her ability to land a job.

I tend to avoid pessimism but it's pretty disheartening to hear a
college professor friend of mine tell about how every term he WARNS
students that he's going to check their term papers for internet
plagiarism, and yet invariably he has to fail students for turning in
something they downloaded from termpaper.com or whatever. All he does is
paste a couple of sentences into Google and he knows right away that the
student's a fraud.

Meanwhile, my wife just earned a human resources/business degree with a
4.0 GPA, had three internships had SIX scholarships--we didn't have to
pay a dime for her college because of her achievements--years of
experience as a system administrator, all kinds of field-related
volunteer work and a previous honors degree from UTD, a stack of
professional references and she can't start at a living wage in the
northwest now because she doesn't have enough "work experience."

The summer-job CFIs at the license mill across the runway start out at
more than what many four-year honors graduates with previous real-world
experience can hope to make.

Whatever. We're starting our own business. When the going gets weird...

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?

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

Good grief. Where did you learn english? From the side of a cereal box?

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.


You are an idiot.

College aged kids have been doing this crap since the dawn of time.
When I was in college my friend told me about this "term paper bin"
his fraternity had, where whenever a member of the fraternity had to
actually write a paper, they would donate it to the "bin" when they
were finished so another "brother" could use it to turn in to his
class. He told me it was two file cabinets large, and there there
papers in there going back to the 1930s.

Meanwhile, my wife just earned a human resources/business degree with a
4.0 GPA, had three internships had SIX scholarships--we didn't have to
pay a dime for her college because of her achievements--years of
experience as a system administrator, all kinds of field-related
volunteer work and a previous honors degree from UTD, a stack of
professional references and she can't start at a living wage in the
northwest now because she doesn't have enough "work experience."

The wole "kids these days are so lazy, my generation is so much
better" is the most contrived argument in the book. Yet is is made by
each and every generation time and time again. I can't get too mad
about it though. I'm sure when I'm in my 60's I'll be saying the same
things to make myself feel better too...

Yeah, I used to have to compete for grades against those assholes in the
Computer Science program at OSU. Each person would write a subroutine
of a program and they'd combine it, change around the subroutine names
and comments and stuff and turn it in. I knew a bunch of them that got
busted my senior year. Out of a class of something like 30, myself and
maybe three other people weren't flunked for academic dishonesty. Of
course, I barely passed because I went it alone. (Any of you guys
remember analysis of algorithms for multiplying n-number of
n-dimensional matrices?)

Ironically, some of the folks who flunked the class are making huge
money right now, and one of them writes software for gaming devices such
as slot machines so casinos know exactly how much money is going through
their system during any given period, and for setting the "wheel" sizes
or whatever.

Yep.
