[chperplt]

How many threads have there been on this topic in the last week??


Is this bad... IF you aren't smart enough to figure that one out yourself, you have bigger problems than the DUI

 

[wahoo250]

well im trying to get some insight because the case is not closed. im in the prosess of fighting it because there is insuficient amount of evidence. im seeing what my options are other than to carry it all the way which is what im probably going to do.

Reckless or Wet and Reckless

Just to clarify, certain states have "wet and reckless" statutes. This would still be reported as an alcohol related offense. Not a DUI/DWI but still...

A guy in my last ground school was sent home because he lied about it and said he only had a wreckless.

I Don't Get This Either???

Over here you said you were not drinking.


So what is the deal.

We just went through this with some other guy. I have a hard time understanding how so many people seem to get a DUI but somehow find a way out of it. You either did it or you didn't, which one? If you are successful in getting it reduced to a wreckless than that is what your DL record will show. HOWEVER!!! A criminal background check will show the original offense and then what it was reduced to, so, DUI will be able to be found. In my opinion, and that is all that it is, just an opinion, if you are asked about it you should explain the whole situation and why it was reduced to wreckless. I don't know if you are asking this question in relation to how to handle it in an interview or on paperwork but, if you choose to disclose what really happened and only say that you have a wreckless driving charge, when the truth comes out you WILL look like you were trying to hide it. The bad thing is that most rational people will wonder what else you are hiding. Face it, you messed up, we all make mistakes but do yourself a favor and take responsibility for it and accept it. Just because you find a loophole in the system or have a good lawyer does not mean it never happened, cops don't just give DUI's out for fun, they are usually rightly deserved. I am in no way trying to be crude or sarcastic because I understand your situation, I am just telling you the cold hard truth.

P.S. The reason I know so much on the subject of background checks is because I just completed 2 weeks of researching my own. Believe me, you would be suprised to see what can come up. My final thought is, if it was that easy for me to find it with a few bucks and the internet, anyone can find it.

Good Luck, God Bless..

Where do you go to find your background? I don't have anything negative - just would like to see what the report looks like.
The check lists everything, right? Like places you worked, etc?

there is no way in hell i would try to hide this. ive learned a valuable lesson in my life. its another bump in a long road. if i were to accept a wreckless it wouldnt be to cover up my life history for some body thats going to try to judge it in a matter of 25 minutes. financially it wouldnt hurt me as bad. i have a clean record for the past 24 years that ive been alive. this was a bad situation and i am ready to fight it until the end. but this was offered to me and just wanted to see what people thought. i would tell the gods honest truth...thats why i am postponing my interview until this is over. i could walk in right now and get hired if i wanted to, im not going to do that. I wanted unbiased opinions on the subject, thats why i said it was not dwi related. I dont need to go to the airlines I ve got a good paying job right now and would take about a 60,000 dollar paycut by doing so. But ive always wanted to fly for an airline. but i appreciate the constructive critisism.

Reckless.

 

[wahoo250]

your about 100 years too late to caryy that screenname gods gift

 

[Dizel8]

That may be so, but I am still happy we got the spelling right!

Although wreckless, has a ring to it, as in: "My driving record is wreckless. I am an excellent driver!"

 

[wahoo250]

i guess i am but.....nice picture anyway

Talk to air Inc adviser. He will most likely suggest an unemotional and objective presentation of the facts. Do not dwell or write a book on it. Hit the topic and move on let them make their decision. Lots of people get hired with minor crimes and just make sure you are not a felon. That is a whole diffrent ball game.

 

[Clownpilot]

Bad? Who knows.

Nobody here even knows what wreckless is.

Maybe thats how you can get out of it. Keep spelling reckless with a w.

That way nobody will ever know what youre talking about and you can slide in there during the confusion.

Hey, maybe you're still drunk.

Everybody makes mistakes, it doesn't matter who you are. We all do stupid things, it is life, and human nature. Not one person on this earth is perfect. I don't think that a person's mistakes define them. Mistakes are a part of life. They help you learn, and making mistakes, sometimes, is the best way to learn, even if they are bad ones.

Most jobs will do a background check. Therefore, if you think that the charge being lessened will be on your background check, then I would be honest about it. I doubt everyone at that airline, including the interviewers are perfect. I am sure they have made plenty of mistakes in their lives too.

I have made mistakes in my life too. Granted I am young, and haven't done anything that will be on my background. I accept the mistakes I made, and wouldn't change them. I have learned and grown from them. I think at the same time you learn who people really are when you make mistakes. People who will not hire you, or forgive, are, in my opinion, much worse of a person then the person who made the mistake. I think you see straight through a person in that situation, and who they really are. If they don't hire you, or people don't forgive, etc., then they are the ones on the losing end. There is no need for them in your life, nor a need to work for that airline.

You seem very confident about being hired, it's your job for the asking. Why the lack of confidence in explaining your actions?

How bout staying in your high paying job and flying for fun for a while? That way you can just wait til its been longer between your dwi. I dont think it looks very good walking into an interview with a recent conviction like that(if its as recent as I think it is). However if you give it a few years you can stockpile more money and fly for the airline later. From what I have heard a lot of airlines want to see at least some time between this type of thing but I could be wrong.

I think somebody asked this before, but I'll ask it again...Where can you check your background on the internet?

 

[Cosmo1999]

good place to start
