Criminal Record
Hello all,
I'm a PPL pilot with 80 hrs TT and I'm looking to start my ATPL distance learning course some time in February.
Five years ago I was convicted for Drink Driving and also admonished on an Assult / Breach of the peace charge. I was wondering if this would stop an airline employing me?
I'm intending to fund the ATPL myself (flying hours included), so I'm not looking to go through the airline sponsorship route, although I very much doubt that they would choose someone with a past record over someone with no Criminal past! The main worry I have is that an airline would steer clear of a candidate like me, what do you all think?
Looking at it from the point that I was dedicated enough to self sponsor and pass (hopefully), I'm thinking that the airlines may see it as I'm seeing it, or do you think I'm wasting my time?
I'm, like most, completley willing to pay for MCC, type rating etc.
All responses welcome!
Thanks
