You do understand that you will be competing with thousands of other pilots who have the coveted 1,000 hrs Turbine PIC, most of these individuals will have thousands of hrs in transport category aircraft in a 121 environment. When Delta, SWA and JetBlue have opened their hiring windows in year past they have received over 10,000 resumes/applications. You will need to be able to make it past the filters and a DUI might not allow you to do so. You seem to have a diverse background and a fairly competitive resume, but the competition at the majors will be fierce! And unfortunately you will probably deal with the same issue over and over. Go read the Colgan E-mail thread, this is working agains you.
