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

In a previous article, Big John said:
All of the Airline crews are dual pilot so even if one has had a few
drinks the two pilot cockpit has give a real time operational safety
as a dearth of fatal accidents show.


However, there have been numerous cases where impaired pilots had to be
taken off an airliner. The most famous incident was where *both*
Northwest pilots for a flight were drunk.
