Flying while suspended for Impaired

[J31]

Another subtle consideration... an impaired driving conviction is a criminal code conviction. If you have a DUI conviction you will never get past the criminal record check to get your RAIC which every commercial pilot will require...

That quote is wrong. A DUI conviction will NOT prevent you from holding a RAIC.

Fact Check: DUI will not prevent obtaining a RAIC.

Shutting someone out for a past indiscretion is silly and doesn't show a very well-developed failure model.

Wow, A330 and A321. I wonder what airline flies those aircraft with furloughed pilots.

I remember one airline that hired a convicted drug runn er. He ended up getting an award for ‘heroic action’ at the airline and has written a book.

I’m sure these guys met some sort of important hiring requirement by whatever airline it is, while others didn’t make the grade.

N’est ce pas?

I think we might want to read the entire narrative about the Azores glider before we start heaping praise on anyone’s judgement.

It wasn't meant to be praise. They hired a convicted felon, perhaps because he was from the local province(and no doubt had the most qualified flying background), and then he went out and didn't follow the procedures as written and nearly killed everyone. It could have destroyed the company based on the media coverage at the time(until 9/11 diverted attention). Did they learn any lessons from that.

And he was absolutely horrible to fly with. Considered himself a Aviation God.

This thread is ridiculous. Not only is it like an out-of-body experience trying to read the totally different subjects revived after a decade, the sanctimony is really something. Good people make mistakes. It's how you come back from them after paying the price that shows your character.

Anyways, why not put this one back to bed again where it was in 2012. It was only revived my someone who seemed to have an axe to grind.

My mistake, I misunderstood your intent.
