$39 is a lot of money???? The magazine is worth it if you are interested in
airplanes, whether or not you decide to get your license.

The question is not just whether you can get a commercial or ATP license,
but more importantly, will anyone hire you with this kind of history. The
FAA can't tell you that. AOPA might give you some idea. I suspect that a
career guidance office at a reputable school that trains professional pilots
(Embree Riddle, Purdue, UND, etc.....) would be an even better source for
this kind of information.

If you join AOPA they will advise you on this or will point you to the
people who can.


I like Hawkeye's answer better. Calling the FAA is free. AOPA is an
excellent choice for those who are actually flying, but I wouldn't join
unless I was pretty sure I was going to fly. What if they say nobody has
ever done it? That's a lot of money for a membership that may not be
useable.

I see this from two sides: 1) two DUIs are unexcusable. People who drink
and drive and then drink and drive again are bound to do it yet again. I
don't want to share the sky with such a person.

2) OTOH, we all do stupid things when we're young. The only difference
between Tony and myself is that he got caught. And knowing that, I also
know mistakes made at an early age don't have to be repeated. I stopped
drinking and driving when I was in my early 20s and in fact seldom drink
at all today. People can change.

So it's a crapshoot. I don't know how the FAA is going to look at this
but I'd be inclined to forget his youthful indiscretions. One other DUI
though... and it's out on his ass. But that's just my opinion.
