Late 90s were a totally different time. Tides were starting to change then, but it was much more lenient back then.

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.

Why "before 1980"?

Believe it or not but it’s true. I heard it from the guys own lips which of course means nothing on the internet. He asked me to recommend him to my own regional and told me his whole story. My defunct regional said no and Skywest hired him.
