How far back does the pilot background check for Republic go? Will a dui from 7-8 years ago make them rescind the offer they gave me?

Not if you disclosed it when you applied...

Good gawd. Always always disclose these things. You don’t want to be THAT guy That gets pulled out of Indoc and sent home. You can’t hide that stuff.

1. If they asked you and you told them about it, they'd probably accept a seven year old DUI if there has been nothing since.



2. If they asked and you didn't reveal it, they'll never forgive you for trying to sneak it by them. And then you get to decide whether you admit what you did to the other regionals or try to sneak lying to Republic past them as well.



So basically, if it's the situation in paragraph 2 you've likely screwed yourself....

Yeah...no way to hide from something like that...always better to be upfront about it from the beginning. Most states keep DUI on your record for 10 years some states it's longer like Florida is 75 years and Tennessee is on your record for life!

They haven't asked yet...

Thanks man. Planned on talking to them next week.

Not trying to hide anything. I didn't offer it up, because they didn't ask. I've read they do their background checks during training... There's no way in hell I'm going to gettes pulled out of training to get fired from my new job and not having my old job. Aside from the fact that I truly believe honesty is the only way to go. I was really asking to get a feel for how hard I have to brace myself for the follow up next week.

Every airline has pilots with DUI's. It's not a show stopper. Being it was 7-8 ago it'll show up when they pull your NDR. If you weren't required to report it on your application and weren't asked about your driving record at your interview I wouldn't stress about it. I have friends that I know personally hired by FedEx and United with a DUI. I hear Delta is even hiring with it on your record too.

Isn't there some issue about flying into Canada with the DUI though? I'm not sure how long that restriction lasts.
