My current dilemma: former Part 121 guy, left the airlines and aviation in 2009. In August 2010 received DUI. Sentence was completed and final court date was in March 2012. I'm working with an aviation attorney in getting my medical back and would like to return to the airlines (regionals) once I get it back and am current once again.
