Arrests on Applications
Hey there fellas I've got a quick question for those that have been through the MAJOR/Cargo airline hiring process recently. When exactly in the process do they ask about arrests now? I have a couple of arrests from years ago that were ultimately dismissed and was not looking forward to how that would impact my career prospects. Its now time to start filling out Major apps and I saw that question about convictions on a few(airlineapps.com for United/Delta and fedex/southwest sites) but I have yet to see anything asking specifically about arrests. Is this just handled as a direct question in the interview now or has the focus shifted onto convictions primarily? I did a little googling on the subject and it sounds like this may be a byproduct of the "ban the box" movement. Any input would be appreciated.
