Thanks for all the replies. Do you know if some offences are accepted based on severity/time since offence, or is it "bad boy = no pass" ?
In UK the list of unacceptable offences is very long, as is the time for certain offences to be "spent", and even some relatively minor things are no-go.
In France however you may have your "Bulletin 2" (the paper required for a badge) "cleaned" after a period of time, almost regardless of the "sin" if you can demonstrate good cause to require this.
Does anyone know if this is the case in Italy, or if a list of "acceptable" offences is published somewhere.
If no residence = no Airside pass is it normal to pass airside with company aircrew I.D. and passport, is there a similar background check for company I.D.
Just trying to figure out if I will find a solution that will be acceptable to the system.
