Has anyone been hired with an Accident on their record?
Is it possible to get hired as an airline pilot having had an accident early on in a pilot career? It is not on my FAA record because they removed it after 2 years and my completion of special remedial training. But now I have interviews with several regional airlines and don't know how to approach the subject when they ask me "Have you been involved in an accident or incident or declared an emergency?" Technically I have had an accident, but according to the FAA there is nothing on my record. Any advice out there?
My thinking is that I need to tell them and let them know that it was early on in my career and that I learned from it and have become a very safe pilot since then.
