Most airlines would ask, "how many moving violations in the last five years?"
I've never been asked about it for CFI or corporate jobs, but every job is different so find out.
If you can't handle a car properly, why should they trust you with a plane? That is their thinking with the traffic violations.
Good luck.
Nolakh86,
I posted a response in the other thread.
As far as your five year history goes, the reality is this:
Most airlines ask if you have
ever had a moving violation. There is no statute of limitations on the application. It is up to you whether you want to list them all or not.
Then, after you are hired (and you've quit your previous job), your new company runs a complete background check and finds that you have not been completely honest with them.
I'm not saying that they will always be able to uncover your driving history, but do you really want to take the chance? Certainly if your state keeps records for longer than five years, a quick check will uncover your violations.
That walk out of ground school would probably be a long one.
But what do I know? Lori will give you some better advise.
Cheers,
Hog
