Default I had 2 DUI's about 6 years ago, is it realistic for me to becomea commercial pilot?

Check your State laws. Some States keep your DUI record forever I'm
told.

Other States wash your record out after a period of time, 5 years, 10
years or some such.

If your State gives you a clean record then should not be a problem
with FAA even if they have some rules about multiple DUI's????

Unless you are going to lie to the FAA, I'm not sure why the FAA should
matter. Unless you're in one of the few loosie goosey states, the
criminal conviction is every hard to erase, even if a casual NDIC search
doesn't show it (which is what the FAA does in the casual case).

Your EMPLOYER on the other hand, may do a criminal records search which
will be more comprehensive.
