I find it difficult that as a result of this, they would stop accepting application as this is not 'equal opportunities'. I hope they take previous character into references also. I know a person who was arrested for assault charges in USA and did a behavior course as part of the proceedings in USA and now is flying for a major airline in UK and he is young in his twenties! Let us see, I guess being optimistic is the best way to go about this.
Im afraid that you have zero chance of a) getting an airside ID, and b) being employed as a pilot.
A criminal past with a DV conviction will be a showstopper for you.
Time to face the reality of your past, and future.
Harsh, but so is DV.
Don't waste any more money on this
And BTW, it has got stuff all to do with equal opportunities
