Wow! I thought I had low time when I was hirred at Scenic with 700TT.

The thing I'd look at is how long ago it was, combined with what you had to say about it now. I would bring it up in your interviews, and be just as upfront and contrite as you've been here. Not much else you can do aside from that.

I disqualify WAY more candidates for not disclosing crimes than for the crime itself. Having made mistakes in the past is one thing...lying about them on the application is another. We ALWAYS find out.

Good luck.

HR Chick,
Could you find out about a ticket recieved in another state if the ticket never showed up on the applicant's driving record for the state in which they are licensed?

HR Chick

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. If it's not on the driving record, I can't see how...but I do remember getting pulled over once in Wisconsin, and the cop mentioning a ticket I'd gotten years before in Virginia...even though that was off of my record by then. So it's possible. And, now that I think about it, I got pulled over a year ago in Milwaukee and the cop asked me about when I lived in California...which was in 1992. I guess he could see that I'd had a California driver's license that far back. I don't think all databases are expunged in a timely matter.

I wouldn't risk it...I sometimes see situations where someone's disclosed something on the application, and it doesn't come up in the background check (usually something that happened when they were a juvenile). I always am impressed with their honesty...but I have no mercy when stuff isn't on the application and it turns up on the background check.

Considering you MUST report alcohol related motor vehicle violations to the Administrator, you better believe it will be on your pilot record.

You could be in hot water, but with the shortage- should be fine.
