That's great to hear, I would do anything to fly for a regional...
I've spoken go a few pilots in person and they all told me to mark "no" on all of the questions on the medical application.. I don't like the idea of being dishonest at all, but they all insist that the doctors and the faa don't check into anything or run Amy background check unless you report something. I want to be honest and hope that they see that I have the potential to be a great pilot, but they have me nervous, along with a lot of information I've read on the faa website and other sources.. either way I choose, once I submit the app there's no going back.
Again, I hate the idea of lying, I stopped doing that when I turned my life around but these pilots obviously know a lot more about this process than I do. I really don't know what to do.
