Answer That is good question Vlad. I have a few of my colleeges has been arrested driving drank and managed to get with an USA airline as airline pilot. So that really depends from airline to airline and how they will look at your disclosure of felonies and misdemenors. But good news is it is possible as long as you honest and disclose all relevant information during hiring process. But be ready for disappontment, none of airlines are watching favorable somebody with history, when they have a plenty applicants that are competing to get job and they have clean slack and education and flight time......
But do not get discouraged, it is possible.
