Hi all, curious to know that if one has a minor offence how much will that affect employment? will that result in never getting a job?

all help appreciated!

thanks

How minor an offence are we talking? Was it dealt with by a Fixed Penalty Notice? I guess it really depends on what the offence was.

Criminal Records checks?

speeding cnviction barrier to airside pass?

Criminal record

That should keep you going for a while.

Obviously theres a huge list of convictions that could prevent you from being employed and it would be up to the discreation of the airline.

I would imagine Drink Driving would probably prevent you, as it appears on any disclosures for up to 10years.

Speeding deppends on how the officer dealt with it, if you are done by fixed penality notice then its a traffic offence, if you are done by the court it becomes a criminal offence.

27 Violence at international airports
28 Conspiracy or attempt to commit any of the aforementioned criminal acts listed in this paragraph

Are all grounds for automatic disqualification. Because you cannot get a ramp job with these offenses.

I assume drug offenses and sexual assaults don't automatically disqualify you, but with competition they might as well. I hope this helps some.
