More than 10 years ago I was arrested a few times for minor things when I was in my late teens. Hung with a bad crowd and have since learned and moved on in life. Most were sealed after not getting in trouble for 6 months and after doing some community service.
The airlineapps site asks whether you were convicted of a felony or one of the crimes listed in the past 10 years. I was never convicted of a felony or any of the listed offenses and it has been more than 10 years since I was in trouble. Legally, I would not have to disclose anything as far as that online application goes.
Here's my question.
Since I have never been to an interview I am ignorant about the process and what can be expected. If I am called for an interview are there any additional forms I would have to fill out which might ask more specific questions regarding arrests. Is the wording changed so as to determine if you were ever arrested or convicted of say a violation or misdemeanor or other than a felony? Do they verbally ask if you've been arrested?
I'm sure on the background check something may turn up and if it has been more than 10 years will they over look this since it was not explicitly asked?
I know honesty is the best policy, but I'd like to put this all behind me and get hired at a regional. I'm almost certain that if I disclosed this stuff they would not consider me for employment.
Has anyone else been in a situation like this.
Thanks.
