    Will a Juvenile or Expunged Record Show in an Airline Background Check
    I recently went through with a job interview with a major airline.
    Everything went well and they gave me my drug test and fingerprint scan.
    When asked the question "Have you ever been arrested" I answered with my underage drinking offense. However, I completely forgot about an arrest when I was 16. It was originally as a felony, but it dropped down to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct with a plea agreement. After I completed community service, it was expunged. I was told by my lawyer that I didn't need to disclose this when applying for a job.
    Will this show up on my record? The FBI conducts the background check.
    And in case it helps, I am in Wisconsin.

    I don't want them to think I lied about it...

    Thanks for any help.

    And in case it means anything, I was never fingerprinted. I know that some of the databases go by fingerprints.

    Wisconsin law provides for "The confidential exchange of information between a law enforcement agency and another law enforcement agency" pertaining to juvenile records. See Wisconsin Statutes Sec. 938.396.

    Hmm...
    Would the fact that it has been expunged make it less likely to be shared?
    I don't know what to do.
    I already applied and interviewed. I basically got the job as long as the drug test and background check clear.
    What would show up on the record? The Disorderly conduct that I was convicted of or the original felony?
    This is so frustrating.
