Policy and good judgement would probably rule this guy out due to the serious nature of the offense, but if he was really exceptional and impressed the interviewers someone might go to bat for him to make an exception since the incident happened when he was young.

This guy is 100% no-go, not a chance, ever. Why? Because he used drugs while holding an CPL. Employers are much less forgiving of behavior problems which occurred AFTER the person becomes a pilot. The higher the level of pilot cert, the less tolerance they will have. An CPL smoking pot? Better not ever get caught.

Also... if the airline knows so does the FAA, and they will presumably be pulling his medical very soon.

At least the car thief was not a pilot at the time of his criminal career.
