Albeit , they happened over 20 yrs ago in the late 90s but you can overcome it. It’s not the end of the world . Up until a few months ago any regional probably would have taken you with a good explanation, save Skywest .

I knew a guy who got hired at Skywest with a DUI and 6 checkride failures a few years back. True story. At the regional level pretty much anything could be overcome before the ‘rona.

Not sure I even believe that, a few years ago I would have heard about it.

I would actually find it more plausible that he had six DUI's, dried out, and then got hired with one checkride bust.

I know a CEO of an airline with several DUI’s and you know he’s still there, so I don’t see what the bid deal is :rolleyes:

But his job is to get top-shelf investors drunk so they let their guard down. Occupational hazard.
