Does anyone know how far back they go when completing a fbi background chk?

Bus Driver

All the way back to when you committed the crime!

Farther than LA-Z-Boy recliners......

Does this include all driving records also
Tanks for the info

Everything as an adult (18+) will show up.

Be forthcoming.

If in doubt, get your own BG check prior so you're sure of exactly what to report.

In most cases they aren't looking for an offense free background (certain convictions are disqualifying) but for an honest, candid applicant.

ok heres my situation
interviewed a month ago and got the job but when was asked about dui's I said none
I have 2 over a 30 year period last one over ten years ago
Will start training next week
Going crazy!!!!
Should I contact the employer and explain myself and just take it as it comes?

You do know they will find out eventually. I am not an expert on this but you better clear it up now, before you start training. If you don't it could come back to haunt you. Good Luck !!!

Bring it up now and you've already lied, your gone. They find it, you lied, your gone. The best you can hope for IMHO is that you keep your trap shut about it to everyone you know forever and you may get through this with a job. 10 years ago it may not come up. 10 years ago you most likely did not do time for it. Either way Good Luck.

I am not telling you to be dis-honest(kinda already covered that base) just no sense in digging a hole you have no chance of getting out of.

Heck, Doug Parker's a DUI'er and they let him run the company.

Thanks for the help I'll be contacting the first thing in the morning

I had one & only one back in 1986. Mine didn't show up. However, just as everyone has suggested. Be honest. B/c if the airline uncovers it, you can best believe the FAA will find out....there goest thy 1st Class Medical....out the door.
