The person may not serve the time, but the fact is that person was arrested and arraigned for domestic violence, and subsequently handed a jail sentence (suspended, or not).
The point of deferred adjudication is a conditional *second chance.*
It's not a free ride.

He has asked me if I know is it completely out of the question for him to become an airline pilot? I know part of the ATP is to have good moral values.
I told him I would look into it for him. Any feedback would be great.
Such as the airlines background check process, and how far back they look, etc.
Thank and happy flying!

This would preclude your "friend" from most flying jobs for ten years after the gavel went down.
