I am 23 years old and I have been convicted of 1 DUI for smelling
like alcohol pratically in New Hampshire, do I still have a shot at
being a commercial pilot?

Yes, legally. If the conviction was before November 29, 1990, or it
was the only conviction, or it was not the only conviction but it was
separated from any previous conviction(s) by at least three years, you
can still obtain a license. See FAR 61.15.

The FAA is surprisingly lenient towards alcohol abusers, as opposed to
its attitude towards, say, asthmatics. I suppose there are more
alcoholics than asthmatics at the agency.

Whether an airline will hire you with a history of substance abuse is
a separate question for which I do not have an answer.

If you are hired, please name the airline that hired you here, so that
I can avoid it in the future.


You are an idiot.
