Can anyone who has been hired recently with any marks on their record explain how that went during the interview? Made a horrible mistake back when I was 18/19 having a fake id trying to buy some beers in a liquor store. Didn’t realize how it would follow me for the rest of my career. Charge was essentially dropped but it’s still in the background checks. United and Delta gives you a place to explain a situation like this in the airline apps, but I don’t see anywhere appropriate to put it in pilot credentials. I obviously want to own up to my mistake in the application prior to any possible interview (if I can even get one with that in my past).
Owned it, show that you learned from it and have had a clean record since then.

I had a misdeamer for example when I was 20, disorderly conduct at a college party. The Air Force not only hired me but gave me a TS/SCI and an even higher clearance that required an in depth interview (not like the TS stuff) the guy interviewing me could tell I’d cleaned up my act, we laughed about it actually. It was not an issue at all for the airline either.
Of course, I’m not in the hiring department either, so there’s that...

Yes, I knew lots of kids with them (this was when ID’s weren’t all that sophisticated). Most of those folks are very successful now. Kids do dumb stuff, so yes I stand by it’s not a big deal. It’s how you recovered from it that really matters, it’s not a game ender (though at the time for a young adult it may seem like it).

I mean this with all due respect and not with any ill intent but . . . WHO CARES!!!! Nobody gives a rats arse if you used a fake When you were 19. Who didn’t? You just weren’t sneaky enough to get caught. Nobody cares. Trust me I have MUCH worse in my past. Do what you do and nobody will think twice about it!!!

Additional info request
I received the American Airlines additional info request email at the beginning of the week and it’s now Friday and I’ve heard nothing back. Has anyone recently received the additional info email request and then not received the face to face interview invite? Does the additional info email mean that I passed the video interview? Should I just shut up and be patient? I’m just curious about the process and any light that can be shed is appreciated.

I did the organizational fit assessment a long, long.....long long time ago. Is it worth emailing the pilot recruitment email or aapilot support email to have it reset and taken again? I still have all green checks but I wanna make sure I do everything on my app to stand out.
With that said, does anyone have any recs on app review?
Thanks and PM if need be.

Am I missing something, the AA application doesn't have anywhere for you to disclose any prior arrests, misdemeanors or speeding tickets. I wonder why not? I had a little trouble in high school and a year after but all charges were dropped. Never had an opportunity to fess up and never came up in interview. Just wondering how that works with background check when you were never given an opportunity to discuss it. Anybody with similar situation and getting hired with AA?
I had multiple misdemeanors between age of 17-18 (senior HS/Freshman college). I swear trouble followed me back then or looking back I was just stupid (most likely the latter). One was a LOT more serious than a fake ID or disorderly conduct. As PRS said, even those never stopped me in the Air Force and I was offered interviews at two different legacies. Fess up, take ownership, and a clean record since speaks for itself. Everyone makes mistakes (or even multiple for those of us too hard-headed to learn on the first). I wouldn’t sweat it, nothing you can do now to go back and change it anyhow.
