Outside of 121... and say the better 135 freight companies...you might have a shot in a few years... other than that I would say in the near term you chances are slim and none and none is in first place. Part 91 corp down the road will probably pull less scrutiny if thats something you are interested in.

What I see is everything happened in 2008 & 2009...... Did you get any more citations since 2009...??
You were 21, have U really learned from your mistakes, are you really ready for an aviation carrer & willing to make the changes & scarifces for it...... If YES, then still there may be a chance....
Best advise, go see a counsellor right now, get a few months of regular counselling & then follow up every with a session every 3 or 6 months & then once a year.. Follow your consellor's advise & stay out of trouble... make 1000% sure that you don't break any rules.... The next 3-5 years are crucial...
Get your commercial, multi & CFI & MEI.. Work as a instructor for a couple of years & keep in touch with your counsellor during this period...
If you get a positive refernce from your counsellor over the years, you will have a case that you did what you did as a im-mature young person, you learned from your mistakes, took corrective actions in your life & now you are a responsible & law abiding citizen.
Your counsellor is the KEY, his refernce is going gong to be the single most imoprtant refrence for you, if you hope to a break at a regional or 135 places....

Having just been part of hiring pilots, the corporates are as tough as any operator out there, at least, a major corporation. They have just as much interest in hiring "clean" employees that won't pose future problems and in the present economy have plenty to choose from.

His advice is good and should be followed, it is the outline of route to success

Like others have said, keep your nose clean, maybe get your CFI & use that to get and keep yourself flying. Other than that you will have a snowball's chance in hell of a 121 or 135 gig any time soon. IMO.

Once again, thank you all for your input. I will continue to get my ratings and CFI on the side while focusing on another career. Originally i wanted to fly 135 cargo so i hope future employers will see a change and that this option becomes feasible in the long run.
