So why did they make me miss work, buy a ticket, and put in my notice when they could of just not interviewed me when they saw my DUI on the application or said no two weeks ago when I disclosed it to the chief pilot.
Its a good opportunity, and hopefully the company is turning around, but how they handled this sucks.
I know I said I wouldn't post on this thread, but I'm curious. Why does 5 years have to pass? I know pilots that have gotten DUI's and never missed a day of work. Granted, they were already flying for an airline prior to the DUI. It sounds like 121 flying is not going to happen for you until 5 years has passed.
