On March 17, 2009 I was arrested for driving intoxicated and landed myself in court with a well deserved OVI (that's Ohio's DUI) to which i pleaded guilty to. No way around it, I was in the wrong and to this day, 10 years later, it continues to be my crowning moment of stupidity and the worse decision of my life. I sincerely regret my lack of judgement at that time and have abstained from alcohol as well as anything and everything potentially intoxicating (i don't do drugs) since. My question begins simply: does this mistake remove me from any chance of being a career pilot?
What about a medical cert? 1st class?
I was 21 then and 31 now. I have lived on the straight and narrow ever since and this OVI is it. Is this something time and maturity can heal in regards to the aviation industry?
Thank you to any and all that reply. I also apologize if I'm going about this the wrong way. Super new...to it all....
