minor in consumption and aviation

[linda199]

I have a quick question, I am up at the University of North Dakota majoring in commercial aviation to become an airline pilot. I recently received a minor in consumption of alcohol ticket. Should I kiss my dreams of flying for an airline goodbye? Some people have told me that getting a DUI/DWI would be far worse... If anyone has any insight about this it would be appreciated.

Hi
In aviation industry as it comes to aviation medical exam you must report all history of arrests, convictions or other administrative action on your medical exam application.There are some cases, though, when your examiner will not be able to issue a medical certificate. Even with just one DUI or DWI, your application cannot be approved.

You should hopefully get away with that one. The important bit is that you are honest and declare it on your application. You were not actually prosecuted for being drunk which would have blown your application.

Considering it was ten years ago, odds are good this has expired.
