Holy crap.. Did I just write that? I think I blacked out for a second.
100% incorrect, not a chance in hell with a recent DUI.
SKW of all places might actually be understanding, but they cannot send you to Canada with a DUI for at least 5 years.
With a seniority-based scheduling system (like all airlines) it would be totally non-feasible to accomodate the needs of a pilot who cannot fly many of their trips. They already have enough guys with that problem who were already employed when the cannucks came up with the rule.
Only shot will be with a small, non-jet commuter which does not fly to Canada.
