Is a class C misdemeanor for underage drinking in 1992 while at college attending a 4 year aviation program in Indiana a show stopper? Otherwise, corporate background, clean record, 1 failed check ride (instrument initial successfully taken 2 days later), 7000TT, 3200TJ PIC, 4 type ratings (CL300, HS125, BE400, CE500). Don't know anyone who works there. Disadvantage of coming from the corporate side of things. Happily employed at this point. However, in corporate aviation you never know. I am just interested to see if I even have a shot. Thanks.

Not a showstopper if you are honest about it and it was a youthful indiscretion 20+ years ago that has not been repeated. Ditto for the initial instrument check-ride 20+ years ago.

They are not looking for perfect people but they are on the lookout for those with multiple events that could be evidence of a undesirable trend.

I guarantee the interview Captain sitting across the table has something in his past that was a "learning opportunity."

Thank you for the response Cadetdrivr. As a side note, the evening I received the unfortunate misdemeanor was the same night I met/walked my wife home of now almost 21 years.

BD100;
Tell that to the HR nazi interviewing you. Great story. They are also looking for humility and self-deprecation.

Anyone getting calls recently? I just got the first call to confirm info this week. Will do my online assessment tomorrow... Just wondering how quickly things are moving from phone call to (potential) interview to (potential) hiring and then class date. Here's hoping...

Interview within 2-3 weeks of the initial call, class dates about 3 months after getting hired is what my friends tell me.

First HR call- Aug 27, 2013 Took Hogan- Aug 28 Called to schedule interview- Aug 28 Interview date (Denver)- Sept 4 Invited into the pool- Sept 11 (last 4 of social starts with 8) Conditional offer letter- Sept 12 Call for invitation to ground school- Oct 18 Need to get to Houston for fingerprints, paperwork, and pee by- Nov 5 Going to first available ground school- Nov 16

Was told to expect (not guaranteed) 737 EWR Schedule starts on Sat (Nov 16) to accommodate Thanksgiving. 5 on, 2 off, 4 on, Thanksgiving. Basic Indoc. will be in Denver, 737 training (most likely) will be in Houston.

Ditto for me and others that I know. Good luck
