What has THAT got to do with my comment? This WASN’T someone legally picketing his employer it was someone ILLEGALLY interfering with the conduct of his/her state government who desires to know how close he can skate to the edge without repercussions.

Why would The HR guy not assume, for example, that such tendencies might carry over to risking landing at BUR with a tailwind in a thunderstorm? Is this really a profession that needs people that will act precipitously first and THEN ask more knowledgeable people whether or not they have dodged a bullet and how many more bullets they might be able to dodge in the future without disqualifying themselves from the career field?

We’ve all had our youthful indiscretions - well, I certainly have anyway - but unless you are rich enough to fund your own airline you are gonna have to play the cards you are dealt. Do you really think the HR people at a major WOULDN’T look askance at this person? Particularly if there was a recurrence?

I certainly think they will.
