You'd definitely need to be rehabed for any major job I would think. Plus you'll have an uphill (but not insurmountable) battle just with the DUI history.

If you don't/can't get rehabilitated, you'd have to look for a regional which does not fly to canada, which is going to be only a handful, probably like Silver down in south FL.
