I've had many interviews and have never once been asked for my OPRs or Form 8s. I can't tell you what each airline does in it's process, but I doubt you have much to worry about. I also think you've taken a very mature attitude about your mistake and your response is exactly what an interviewer is looking for. Take responsibility, learn from your mistake and move on.
I think you have very little to worry about.

I think Delta might be in the minority on the use of OPRs. Good luck.
Appreciate it fellas. If it comes up in a Delta interview one day I'll chalk it up to being young, getting too comfortable in the jet, and leaning too far forward. In all seriousness it has been a good learning experience. Just because you're confident in your abilities and comfortable to push the limits a little that type of thinking is not needed in a training environment and certainly not in an airline environment. I'm assuming that type of thinking is more conducive to war time missions where you need to lean further forward sometimes to get the mission done, but then again I'm still just a FAIP so I could be wrong about that also.
