Suppose May had been assigned as a fighter jet? Would it have worked out?

Badly; I don' t think that she has the sort of personality that would adapt well (or at all) to military discipline.

How old are the ai in terms of maturity? Mentally may might be very young and not aware of the full range of consequences

Does the US not have any means of considering a conviction "spent"? In the UK there is a mechanism by which, for instance, for most jobs the employer is not permitted to consider a spent conviction in deciding if someone is suitable, and the applicant is not required to declare it.
The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act

Honestly, the only crimes that I can think of that should require disclosure are 1) stealing a large sum of money or something quite valuable from a former employer (including embezzlement) and 2) violently attacking a coworker/customer.

I don't think we know May's age. I only could get more or less definite recontructions from two AIs:
I think we only really know Momo's age. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1995
Hanners got Windlow shortly before she was introduced into the comic. Knowing Hannelore, Winslow probably was factory fresh. Do the math how much time passed since strip 527. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=527
Pintsize has been with Marten for roughly two years now? My Archive Fu is failing me on that one.

As I recall, the AIs maturity is defined in terms other than their chronological age. When May was looking for a job, one of the application forms asked whether she could pass a Turing Test to a certain level; I suspect their maturity is defined this way as it measures how complex their intelligence algorithm has become.
