Supose you get a speeding ticket for going at 51mph when the limit was 35. You call one of these lawyers from ticket cleaning and they remove the ticket from you, with no points, no school. Question: Does that appears on the driving record? do i have to tell the airline about it on my interview?

thanks!

One ticket, most of them won't care about. When I was interviewed I told them about the one ticket I had 6 years prior, they could care less. Unless you have a DUI, I wouldn't be too concerned about a minor traffic violation. Also, my ticket was an 85 in a 55, but I didn't tell them that haha! They aren't going to get into specifics with you.

Be honest
in all of my years of driving, I had been ticketed twice that I did not have removed.

That asked me after I was hired why I get pulled over three times a year for the last five years.

Never get tickets, hadnt had one since I was 20, and I was 27 when I got hired,
They seemed to know all about my driving record tickets or not.

My guess is, if you dig deep enough they will find it.

But honesty above all else will pay you more in the long run.

When you tell them you got a ticket, they might ask why, and if you just speeding to speed, thats what I would tell them. There is nothing more you can do about it but own up to it.

Thats what I did, and I was fine with no problems.

When I interviewed with one particular cheif pilot when the question of tickets came up I answered that I had one 6 years ago he said - good, I probably wouldn't hire you if you hadn't ever gotten one. Basically they want a straightforward, honest answer. They can probably find out things you think arent there so don't try to avoid responsibilty. Own up, and as long as there isn't a bad pattern forming or anything serious or recent you'll be fine. Nobody is perfect and they know this - its all about YOUR attitude towards your mistakes and how you deal with them.

depends on the airline. But just tell them anyway, they'll appreciate the truth.

I had a failure to yield to the right of way when i was 16, did traffic school and it was supposed to be off my record. When I interviewed at 3 airlines (AE, TSA, Piedmont) I said "I had a failure to yield when I was 16, it shouldn't be on my record but it might still be." Each of those 3 airlines said thanks for the honesty but it was no big deal.

Tell them in case its there, unless its a big one or a long series of small ones they don't care

Two points
1- I was outside the CAL HR office as she is telling someone on the phone...this is the executive summary: "we have a policy about being completely honest on the application and you were not...so we are going to reject our offer for the job." It sure would suck to loose a job to something they may not care about because you were dishonest.
2- They do a background check on your records. Many prep consult personnel recommend you do your own to make sure the info on your application matches. I'm not sure how to do this but I have seen it in these forums.
