I would like to get an idea of what to shoot for. There is nothing on the internet that answers these kinds of questions, besides the one that said a violation will kill your prospects of ever becoming an airline pilot.
I don't think this will have an adverse affect on you, for several reasons:
1) It was years ago.
2) You were VERY inexperienced
3) You were not operating as a professional pilot.
4) You recognize what went wrong and learned from it.
By the time you get all your ratings and get some cfi time, this will all be just water under the bridge that will get a brief discussion at an interview. American Airlines/Eagle might possibly hold it against you, but they are pretty uptight...I wouldn't want to work there anyway.
