Question Criminal conviction (spent) + Airline Employment?

Long story short, I was convicted of drink driving (barely over the legal limit) and punished with 12 months no driving, which was reduced to 9 months because I did the 'rehabilitation' course.

My relationship with alcohol is good. Quite frankly if I knew I was over the legal limit I would not have driven my car. I had just turned 20 three weeks earlier at the time.

My conviction is due to become spent, and I'd very much like to do my CPL / IR over the coming months. I do know that once the conviction is spent, I do not have to declare it, and that it will not show up under Basic Disclosure CRB check (though could someone confirm this??).

Regardless of all this, given the amount of time, money and effort that it takes to gain your CPL, will I be able to land myself a job at the end of it?

I live in the UK and ideally my employer would be UK based.
