I would not even consider that. By the small chance you think it isn't and it actually is, the airline will find out and can your a** so fast...

You need to consider another line of work.

Nobody needs to tell you what you did was idiotic, you probably already know this. At the age of 22 and 6 traffic violations is really bad. Like most people have told you, put the airlines on hold for a while. Your best bet is to get a cfi gig and stay "clean" for the rest of your life if possible. Keep in mind that with the Colgan 3407 crash airlines might make their background checks more thorough. I know the crash had nothing to do with traffic violations but you never know.

But if you have a degree in anything other than aviation, you should be good.

The FAA and as someone pointed out, "that their company would pass on someone like you", because you're perceived not to be willing to follow accepted social rules. They would then determine that you may have a personality disorder. May be far from the truth and unfair to characterize you as such....but that's the way they see it.

You can always try law enforcement.

Well you can always work at a 135 and clean up your act. Get some turbine time, and you're good to go. I know guys who had accidents on their records, worked at a 135 and then went on to 121 without a problem. I would go to DMV and ask them to give you a print out of your driving record. This will be the same record that the airline pull when they do your background check. Don't let the people on this forums tell you that it's the end of the world. You never know until you try.

Maybe not the end of the world, but I'm not sure continuing to throw money at this "dream" is the way to go. 6 tickets by 22 years old is gonna be tough to convince anyone at an interview that you're ready to borrow the keys to the jet.

3 of those are within the last year. Dude, SLOW DOWN!

I wouldn't want you at the controls of an aircraft with my family on board. Your driving record displays quite a bit of wrecklessness and refusal to follow the rules from my perspective.

You're young. Slow down, follow the law. This career is about following the rules and being responsible. 6 violations in 3 years is stupid. You won't be able to afford car insurance premiums on regional pay let alone get the job in the first place if you continue on this path.

BTW, speeding doesn't get you there any faster than the speed limit when you get pulled over

When you say you know guys who had accidents, what kind of accidents do you mean? Aircraft or auto?

Best,
