  How long ago did you receive the DUI and did you complete remedial training?  Find the local FSDO representative from the FAA and speak with him.

Yes.
Having a DUI does not prohibit one from getting an FAA commercial pilot certificate.
Getting hired may be another matter. There have been those who were hired with a DUI. It just depends on how well your flight time stacks up against the other applicants as to whether it will really affect your chances. These days it seems like the regionals are hiring anyone with a pulse the "pilot shortage" is so bad, so if I were you I'd be pretty hopeful about my job chances!
