At the time, I didn't have all the information since tickets drop off the state DMV after 5 years, so my "record" is clear right now. The local Police wouldn't give me any of my ticket information. Anyway, a friend at work was able to look up my "hidden" driving record and I was able to piece it together more accurately. I tried to call my recruiter, Laurie Clark, to explain the situation but got someone else on the phone yesterday...but still passed the information on to her. I have heard that once an interview is schedule you are screwed if the airline apps doesn't match what you really have. I have also been updating my flight totals as I fly more. Can anyone offer me any advice?
Here's the thing. When you get the "2 day email", 2 days later they print out your application and put it in a folder that they start to build before, during, and after your interview. So if you add a ticket to airline apps after that, it will not be in your folder and you start running into a problem. Regardless, the most important thing to do is make sure they know about it. Looks like you started the ball rolling, but I would follow up. Maybe after the weekend. Give them a call to make sure that it was added and that the discrepancy is noted. Contrary to what some naysayers will say in a bit, you should be okay. As long as they know about it and it is accurate, that should be enough.
You are, however, living proof that what your record says and what some other record says, are not always the same. Just because a ticket was "Expunged" or something, doesn't mean it is gone for good. Good detective work.
