It won't.
And he just needs to be clean for 2 years to get a medical.
I'm afraid it will. A criminal conviction is an automatic bar to anyone wanting to be issued a civilian airside pass. Similarly, a criminal conviction will render it highly unlikely any visa application necessary for a job as civilian pilot will be granted. There are probably more reasons but those are sufficient.
