i have a buddy who has a class date - new to the whole regional thing - disclosed everything he knew in his background check (which was a spedding ticket)- even ran his own state police report on himself (he's also a substitue teacher) -- they still have to do the FBI background check on him -- here is the rub......he found out he has a non-felony, non-misdemaenor public intoxication (paid fine) that and airport cop was able to pull up in his records, what should he do?

And NO...its not me!
 
Two choices....Try to show up for class and hope no one finds out....which he will have to sweat for an entire year on probation if they find out...or.....immediately go to a chief pilot and explain how it was just a ticket you paid and it didn't come up in the interview. After the interview you were thinking about it and wanted to make sure it didn't come up an issue later. Show good faith. Then take what you get. That would be my advice. If they find out that it wasn't disclosed and they find out on there own....fired for sure.

Good luck.

I second going to someone with it-don't let it come up later.
 
Did they ask about any arrests, if not leave it be. They could care less. Also how did he forget about it.
 
but now that it is on a public message board which company people check on a reg basis for both fun and prob work, you just caused the hiring people to go digging with a fine tooth comb. i would erase the first post and have your buddy pay 100 bucks or so to expunge it, and then i would have him come clean with someone.
 
Mesaba has hired guys with dui's that Mesaba knew about when they called them for interviews. Point being I don't think it will be an issue if he brings it to light. If they know. If it comes as a surprise in a background check...good luck. Then they feel lied to. And yes the applications cover disclosing tickets and run-ins with the law after age 17.

Couldn't care less about arrests? You are taking that a little too far. Airlines care about prior arrests. There isn't an airline app on the planet that doesn't ask.
 
Be upfront about it. Honesty is always the best policy. It will help him avoid being the "vanishing new hire" on day 4 of Indoc.
