I don't think many people here been in this situation, but I bet some have had some kind of drug related incident (beyond alcohol) in their background in the last 10 years. Not sure how many on here would openly admit it though. So here is my advice. Pick up the phone and call 5 Regional Airlines you are thinking about working for. Ask for their pilot recruiter. Keep calling until you get one on the phone. Then tell them you only need two minutes of thier time and tell them your situation. Ask them if you still qualify. They can't tell you if they'd hire you, but they can at least tell you if you "qualify" to possibly be hired. Then I just hope you get honest recruiters on the phone.

PS - In my opinion, you are probably okay. But you have to prove yourself and walk a very straight line from here on out. If you have anythng else on your record beyond this one incident, your track record then might be a problem. If this is your only offense ever, you are probably okay. But again, the only way to know is to get on the phone with those Regionals.
