I know others that have gone to an interview with their state copy of the criminal history but it was not accepted by the airline.
Good luck,

Just to add on Lifter's post
THEY ONLY ACCEPT FBI BACKGROUND CHECK!!!
Reason why? Because you will need to get your AIRPORT BADGE which has strict rules for foreigners. My company just wanted a criminal record for Europe, but it was a whole different ball game once I went to get my Airport ID. I had to go to the Embassy get the paperwork for the FBI background check (Translated into the language of the country you working in) then get fingerprints and send it to the FBI. Airport only accepted this, thank god they gave me a temporary and I was able to leave and enter the airport without getting hassled.
BTW: It won't take 6-8 weeks, on the FBI FORM it asks when you need it, LET THEM KNOW you need it for an interview and the EXACT DATE you need it, Im sure they will accomodate you as much as they can!
