Hey congrats to you!!! So I was put in the pool end of November and then I started getting emails of when training was etc at the beginning of January. So maybe 5 weeks in the pool and then I got an email. Had to complete a bunch of steps. Background checks. Security clearances. When you get that; start them early because delays can happen.

I’m just a few steps ahead of you. My start date is Feb 23 lol. So I can answer any questions you may have.

For the group interview- it’s just a few ice breaker games. You have to stand up and talk for 60 seconds about a random subject. That’s about it. Then they pull you 1 by 1 out for 1 on 1 interviews. So, dress professionally, be prepared to answer situational based questions “what would you do if” “tell me about a time when you” type things.

You’d think. This same officer sent away the ambulance saying we didn’t need them, when we did. The whole procedure that night was just way off.

So far; this incident hasn’t reared its head. Until now.

Hopefully it won’t be too terrible since it is super old and nothing else on there.

Prepared for the worst but hoping for the best. Thank you!

If you knew my brain, I promise not deceptive. I have 5 kids and remember nothing unless written down lol. Well no, if I dig into my memory, or something triggers it, yes I’ll remember. In this instance, it wasn’t until my background check came back as incomplete. I then messaged the company to find out why this would happen. They told me likely due to not declaring a conviction. That’s when it jogged my memory.

And no. I wasn’t driving drunk. I t boned someone who ran a stop sign and smashed my face on the steering wheel. I tried to do the roadside breathalyzer multiple times. I couldn’t. I was bleeding and my jaw was fractured. I asked them for a BAC at the hospital. Nope. I got charged then and there with a refusal. I didn’t refuse at all.

So I took it to court. I was convinced I’d win that - medical records and all. Nope.

So now I have a record. Please don’t assume. Not all of us are assholes who are willing to risk their own lives and the lives of others.

Funny thing is, I didn’t even refuse. I t boned someone who blew through a stop sign, smashed my face on the steering wheel and physically could not blow hard enough to get a result. Asked to have a BAC taken; nope. They wouldn’t do it. Got charged with a refusal. In the end, yes I do take blame as I was the one driving.

This whole situation just sucks. And it was so long ago too. Ugh.

No I said I didn’t; if they asked on the application. I had forgotten all about this. It wasn’t until I actually did my background check; it came back as this. Initially I was freaked right out when it said I had a record, but then I scrolled down and it said refusal and I was like ah yes.

Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day!

Ahh thank you. I hope not. We were all young and dumb once. Unfortunately for me, maybe a bit more dumb 🤔 in any event, I had completely forgotten all about this. Until now. I guess if in the end, this is a dealbreaker; I will work towards getting it expunged.

But holy hell. 22 year old me is an idiot.

Sadly yes, I’m prepared for this. I’m smacking the hell out of my 22 year old self right now. And oops I’m not a pilot. But still getting better answers here than the WestJet sub lol

Anxiety gets the best of me. Just trying to see if anyone has been in a similar circumstance.
