I had 2 DUI's about 6 years ago, is it realistic for me to become a commercial pilot?

Do you now drink responsibly or are you still acting like a kid?

Two DUIs is strong evidence of irresponsibility or alcoholism, neither of
which is compatible with safe flight.

A person who didn't learn from the first DUI is either an idiot or an
alcoholic. Now maybe he was just an idiot and grew out of it, or maybe
he's a borderline alcoholic who is likely to drink and drive (or fly)
again. Personally, I would want to see evidence that he doesn't drink
enough to get drunk regularly.

Exactly. One DUI is strong evidence of alcoholism; two DUIs is virtually
proof of it. So the question is whether or not this person still drinks. If
he still drinks at all, he needs to stay on the ground.

You have a source you can cite to back up this claim?

I personally happen to know someone who was cited twice for
this because she was the designated driver, and the fool she was taking
home left an open bottle of alcohol in her back seat.

Yet, she never had a sip.

You said before it was alcoholism. Are you changing your story?

Life is very seldom black and white, which is about all you seem
capable of understanding.

And since you don't fly and will never fly, I haven't the slightest
interest in what you think makes a safe flight.

How can you be charged with a DUI with a blood alcohol of zero? She was guilty
of having an open container; not DUI.

That has to be total BS, or there is more to the story.

Did this person actually bother to get a real lawyer and fight the
charges?

Were they "convicted" or "cited"?

Were they under the influence of something else, like a prescription
drug, that prevented them from passing a sobriety test?

Twice?

He is not a pilot, physician, or AME. He has absolutely no idea what the FAA
will think about this individual's application.

In matters of safety, sometimes it is necessary to reduce the shades of gray
to black and white, and then make a decision.

Since you are not a pilot, do not hold a medical, are not an AME, and do not
represent the FAA, no one cares about your opinion.

Before the normal inane response: Viperdoc also speaks my opinion on this
subject.

And is eliminating the grey, you've eliminated information. Only you believe
this is a good thing.....
