Dui and skywest
 
Hey guys does anyone know if Skywest has an issue with DUI. I have a friend who wants to go there but he has a DUI from February of this year.

Wouldn't every air carrier have an issue with a recent DUI?!

Huge red flags regarding judgement, dependency issues, future liability, disregard for the law, etc!

How come everybody's friend who has a DUI needs someone to ask this question?;)

Sounds like all positive attributes to me?!?

Better tell your "friend" to not get their hopes up. But, then again, all "they" can do is apply.

I was thinking the same thing...

To the OP, if it's you who got the DUI, who cares? We don't know know you are. To answer you question, I don't know the answer to your question.

Skywest is a Mormon company so they probably look even more down at a dui.

You'd be surprised. Acceptance of full responsibility with a showing of contrition and completion of all legal dues, he's got a shot. SW is into second chances ( for some...) as long as you've been honest and made a demonstrated change.

Holy crap.. Did I just write that? I think I blacked out for a second.

I know of at least one pilot that was hired here (Skywest) with a dui. So there is a chance.

i think the problem lies with travel to and from Canada. From my limited knowledge of Canadian regs, there is an issue entering and exiting the country if you have had a DUI within the past 7 years. No airline will touch you if you do not have the ability to cross borders.
