Evaluation Criteria



So just so we're clear on this:

You can be a "controlled" drug addict

You can have unlimited FAR violations, as long as they are all within two separate events or more than five years ago.

You can have unlimited accidents, but only two that were your fault unless they are more than 5 years ago.
