I know there has been several other questions like mine but I feel like I have a very particular situation. I was 18 (20 now) and made the stupid decision to smoke marijuana and attempt to drive home after a shift at work. Not really knowing how it would affect my body I decided it was best to pull over and sleep in my car instead of endangering my life and someone else’s. Next thing I know an officer is tapping on my window and, you guessed it, put me in jail for the night for a DUI. I got a lawyer and was ready to take the punishment I deserved, however on my court date I hadn’t been charged with anything. A year went by and still nothing. My lawyer informed me that the statute of limitations on DUI’s is one year and that I would not be charged with anything. Even though I somewhat got lucky it’s still the dumbest thing I have ever done. Today I went to a AME to get my 1st class certificate and told him on my application of my arrest. Right now I am jumping through the hoops to get my 1st class. My question basically is how hard will it be for me to get a decent job as a pilot. I’m only at 38 hours right now but I know this is what I’m supposed to do with my life. Sorry for the long post but this whole situation can be very disheartening and I wanted to get as much info to you guys as I could. Replies would be appreciated, thanks.
