u/AirlineNegative155

When I was 17, about four years ago, I was at a gun show and obtained a firearm. I was arrested there for possession of a concealed firearm. I entered a diversion program, and my charges were later dropped. My record was expunged (though I understand the FAA and airlines may still be able to see it).

I wasn’t a bad kid at the time—I know everyone says that, lol—but I was volunteering at Mayo Clinic, helping at retirement homes, and writing postcards to seniors. I had no prior criminal history, did well in school, and I haven’t had any trouble since then.

How likely is this to prevent me from getting a job with an airline or to give me problems with licensing and the FAA?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 🙏
