It was dumb and I won't be doing it again, but does anyone know if the airlines require driver history reports or do they simply go by Police Checks (in which case my thing would not show up).
I'd hate to go through all this training only to realise that I'm unemployable at the end
Any info/anectodes would be helpful ta,

If the XPCA offence was committed in Victoria and you received an infringement notice, police can list this on a record of prior convictions.
I suggest honest answers at medical and employment interview with the explanation as given is the right way to deal with it. Worse to be caught out lying in my view especially if it also constitutes perjury.
