I appreciate the response guys, I think I'm extremely lucky that it wasn't a DUI I got!
I just wanted to make shure that there is hope, I'm willing to put the time in. And I think (or hope) that they will see that besides those two incidents I have always been a very responsible person. Just a spike of extreme stupidity.
I think a negligent driving in the 1st degree is still an alcohol related offense but I think it is the only one that isn't a gross misdemeanor (like Reckless driving or a DUI)
thanks again!
1) Your handle of "Cowboypilot" has a connotation of a renegade to me, but that is besides the point . . . For all I know you live in WY.
2) Neg. Driving. Problem I see with this is that you have (2). One is easily explained. The second? Sketchy.
3) Your age. (23) If you received these Neg. Driving tickets at 23 and are now 33 . . . with no infractions since, that to me is a more safe bet for a hire.
4) Airlines will find out even if not on the NDR. so tell the truth
5) You are in a good position now since airlines are hiring anything that remotely qualifies as a pilot. If I were you . . . Fly only multi-engine for your next 350 hours and then go and apply with 1000TT and 400 multi. Much will be overlooked I bet.
