Why should anyone hire you when there are tens of thousands of unemployed pilots with clean records looking for the same jobs as you are.
 
From what I've seen, most 121 places require you to pass a 10 year background check. It also asks for any specific convictions which are listed in the FAR's I believe. If its been more than 10 years I dont know if they can hold you to it. I think they only ask if theyve been felonies not misdemeanors.

Anyone know why its only 10 years? can they not discriminate beyondthat time frame?

I know someone who had two gross misdemeanors. (He caught his girlfriend in bed with someone else....and his baby daughter wasy lying between them!) A little over a year later, he was hired by Horizon. He was honest about the infractions and brought the doumentation to the interview. He had no trouble nailing the job.

Sooooo there is hope!
When was this? Before the Lautenberg Amendment to the 1968 Gun Control Act or after? After, domestic violence nets you some loss of civil rights...even if it's a misdemeanor. This is the new trend, misdemenor crimes with punishments that cause you to lose your rights.

He was hired in 2005. The gross misdemeanors were a year and a half prior. (One has since been dropped.) He passed the background check because the company has the right to "use their discression" when it comes to misdemeanors (as I was told by HR). This is excercised on a case by case basis. According to HR he has been an exemplary employee.
Well, two good things happened to that guy. He got his job and he got rid of her. Things are looking up.

A buddy of mine ran afoul of that Lautenberg amendment to the 1968 gun control act a few years ago.

It was retro-active, so even though his domestic violence charge from the 90's was reduced to a misdemeanor, when the amendment passed, it effected him even though he didn't know about it. He purchases a deer rifle a couple of years ago from a licensed FFL and the NICS check came up "no-go". He went down to the sheriff's department to see what he could do, but the sheriff said he can't help, that he even has deputies that can't carry guns because of this thing.

Make sure your buddy looks into this, I'd hate to see him purchase a firearm from a private owner, only to find himself later getting charged with a federal felony.

From what I understand, my buddy put a broke face on a relative that raped my buddies neice. The story is pretty interesting, but he got the felony pardoned or reduced to a misdemeanor, but the domestic violence part didn't go away.
