The thing is in 3 years time it will be impossible to see my conviction to any airline because it will disappear in my criminal records. I just wonder if it was POSSIBLE to get license to begin with, the Swedish auhtorithes is kind of hard, and it is very hard to find out IF i can even start.
Can i enter USA to go to a flight school there?
Ofcourse i was going to deal the marijuana, i was the only one with a connection, and ofcourse i regret it.
Again thank you all for your advices

OMG...this guy is soo lucky ..first he got insanely screwed up for drugs in his house...then he got euro410000(just count zero's)...now he wants a job in aviation ...where again everything is so unpredictable ...Are you drunk or taken drugs while making such decision...
get a ppl and fly around your home for fun..but don't consider is as career ..you can do many other things in your life..
don't even think that you have so much money right now..just spend your normal life and do job ..rest keep money for hard times...

I don't know the law in Sweden, but it is probably similar to the UK. There would be 2 or 3 separate issues to consider here, so probably likewise in Sweden.
1. Can you get a Class 1 Medical? - Most likely yes. I know of people in the UK with cannabis convictions and even police cautions for cocaine who got medicals.
Once you complete training;
2. Can you get an airside pass? You'll need to check the process in any country where you wish to apply for jobs. - In the UK, the rehabilitation of Offenders Act applies. Spent convictions disappear from your police record after a time. The amount of time depends on the length of the jail sentence. You didn't have a jail sentence, so your offence should be removed more quickly. You seem to have researched this already. You can time your course completion to the day the conviction will be removed from your police record.
3. Do you have to disclose it on a job application? - In the UK, you do not have to disclose spent convictions, therefore you simply answer "No" to questions about convictions on a job application. If you know it will not come up in the police background check in the country where you are seeking work, you need not worry the airline will find out. The best way to know for sure is to order whatever report you would need before applying for jobs there. In the UK, this would be a Basic Report from Disclosure Scotland. What I don't know is whether or not Disclosure Scotland would check with Sweden, but most likely they would. If the conviction is spent in Sweden, they could not share it with Disclosure Scotland.
I'd say ignore the arsy detractors here and pursue your dream, but invest the 3/4 of the winnings you won't need wisely.

Adios
If you are referring to me as one of the "arsey detractors", I was only being inquisitive. Having the drug in his possession but not in his blood stream didn't add up to me and as it turned out he has admitted his intent to deal.
Yes he has only been found guilty of possession and his conviction will be spent soon so it shouldn't be a problem, however, just like in aviation we should always be prepared for the worst case scenario.
