Uphill battle to Majors? Help!

Sorry. Slow news day. This is worse than the Italian cruise ship Captain's claim he "accidentally" tripped into the life boat.

Nonetheless, if one walks then there really was no guilty conviction, and wouldn't have to be reported on a question if it asked if one is guilty of a felony/misdemeanor.

Have you ever been arrested?

Have you ever been convicted?

Two very different questions if asked.

I agree. The only issue I have with this is that if an application has a question that may ask this and disqualify you regardless of outcome.
 
What if not arrested but sited (ticket) and forced to court (federal)? I know that didn't go away, I was a minor, and it came back when I had a security clearance done with CIA. They laughed.

For all intents and purposes cited for a crime = arrested. Either way you were charged with a crime. Whether the arrest was custodial or not is neither here nor there.

It won't. People get arrested and/or detained with regularity and people know that.

Now if you're convicted, that's something else entirely different.

Honesty you can't tell me you know the actual computer parameters at every airline and what does and doesn't put you in what pile. I'll give you credit but not that much credit ;)

Then why even ask the question, is my question. I cant even believe its legal.

I don't even know if the question is asked, to be really honest. I haven't seen the application recently.

I assume, and this is just my opinion only, is that you're showing (a) completeness of application and (b) are you honest.

Kind of like the moving violations question, if you answer yes, perfect! If you answer no, well, did the applicant actually NOT have any moving violations, or did the applicant HAVE moving violations but had them expunged through traffic school and didn't answer the question truthfully.
 
I guess if someone asked "Have you EVER had a moving violation" my answer is yes primarily because I have and that's an honest answer even thought they're not on my NDR (national driving record)

"Do you have any moving violations in the last ten years..." my answer is (literally) no.

What if they ask you how many DWB (driving while Black) violations you have?

LOLOLOL!

:biggrin:

Ha! YES!

I haven't had one of those since probably the early 1990's. Got pulled over, handcuffed, pushed on a sidewalk as the police tore apart my car looking for a stolen six pack of beer someone reported that a black male, early 20's, medium build stole from a 7-11.

Really. That's what, 1/6th of Fresno? Ha!
 
How far back does PRIA go? 5 years ?
By the time you get to a major, if it's been more than 5 years (if that's the case) can you just mark that period of time as unemployed, instead of going through the whole story of quitting during training?
Or will they find out anyway??
 
I do know that if you lie on your application and it's discovered by your new airline, you will be terminated. Just be honest.
