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

about the junior level, but my old dream of flying just came back to
me all of the sudden and I thought I would make absolutely sure if
those DUI's will be more than just an obstacle for me.

The important question is: Do you still drink?


What's it to you fjukkwit

You don't fly and you never will

Lots are! Doesn't mean that Anthony has even the slightest idea what he's
talking about.

A few years ago I was at the Wally World and there was a woman driving
one of the motorized buggys who was so drunk that walmart security
"helped" her to stop driving and called her relatives to come get
her. She had obviously driven there in that condition. I think what
got their attention was her running into the Potatoe (grin) chips
display.

Driving drunk is a demonstration of extraordinarily poor judgement--poor
enough to justify keeping the driver on the ground indefinitely.

Wrong again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again and again and again

There are other demonstrations of poor judgement as well.

Your statements contradict each other. Either a pilot who drives drunk should
be kept on the ground, or he shouldn't. Which is it?

How would you know?

You don't fly

One need not fly to know the dangers of substance abuse.

Driving drunk is a demonstration of extraordinarily poor judgement--poor

Isn't a driver normally on the ground? Are you now an expert on substance
abuse, just like piloting, aviation medicine, and breast feeding?

Go get a reality check.
