That is great information, that would be incredible! My main cause of concern is that the faa website says that the medical examiner must defer certification if the applicant has had more than 3 arrests in their lifetime. Since I do, I was worried that would make it difficult to obtain. I wonder if it would be harder to get a 1st class with my history also..
Thanks a lot, that gives me great hope!
