Nose on your face

Neo, Even though you're in denial I think Yop was trying to point out, letter by letter, that thanks to your previous conduct you are going to be pushing string uphill for a long time trying to get any sort of security clearance in aviation.

Every time you're sitting in a classroom/briefing/interview and someone who you're not expecting comes in and has a private word with the instructor/invigilator/training captain you'll be bricking it just in case you've been 'found out' and these are your last minutes in aviation. What about someone who knew you in a previous life, wonders how you reached where you are and starts making checks and informing management. Not everyone is of a generous nature.

You might be able to circumvent the employee checks and pass the interview for a job, but then there'll be the checks for your airside pass(es) [as mentioned] at your base and possibly elsewhere. Knowing/hoping that this or that won't show up and if it does it'll be career ending will give you much more than a stress headache. Remember too that if it goes tits up once, you will have that record following you around in the future and your name will be known. Aviation, country by country is a small business. People know each other even worldwide - you'll be forever looking over your shoulder.

Sorry to say this but I think it's time to fold your tent and accept the inevitable - actions have consequences - and a career in a very security conscious business (and this goes for other than aviation) probably isn't for you.
