He called HR and told them about the incident and they flew him down to Houston and ripped him a new ********* then still gave him the job. If you get the FBI to do your check and give you a copy and it comes up clean you are probably ok, otherwise just report it. Nothing could be worse than getting pulled out of groundschool and confronted about it then fired because that will follow you for a long time.
why? like someone previously said, if it's expunged, you don't need to report it. You make a point that xjt found out about it, but he still got the job didn't he? why not just tell them how many times you've cussed in your life or how many times you've had road rage while you're at it? bottom line: just like on a checkride/oral......don't open up any cans of worms; only answer the q's that YOU ARE REQUIRED TO. Convictions or charges expunged do not fall into that category.
