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



Any help, advice, or experience is really appreciated. Feel free to
email me!
Thanks,
Jarrod


I F you have been clean for 6 years A N D you have a clean driving
record since the last DUI with no moving violations I tend to think
you have a good chance...

Get some letters of recommendation attesting to your clean lifestyle -
including one from your family doc that he has no evidence of
substance abuse - and go apply for a student license... I would not
waste money on a lawyer... Either the FAA legal staff will buy your
new found way of living clean or they won't - and machinations by
counsel won't change facts here... The only machination I might
suggest would be to get a concealed carry handgun license if you can
- that will carry some weight with OK City...

I know some of the senior AME folks who work with heart patients,
diabetics, etc. and are expert in this area of FAA regulation. If you
are near Michigan let me know and I will put you into their hands...

My advice, go for it...
