Anyways, like most aspiring airline pilots I've put a lot of work into my flying career and hopefully something like this won't be too big of a road block.
You'll probably be OK after 11 years and a clean driving record. In the interview you can explain that this was just "speeding reckless" and not "real reckless". Don't cop an attitude, and do own up to it but it's OK to explain that it was just highway cruise-control speeding.
As far as the automated application screening systems...who knows, nobody can answer that one. I assume they automatically reject any applicant with reckless/DUI (saves having to pay a person to actually consider and weigh all factors), but hopefully they have an "expiration date" for something like this. But I think if you can get past the computer, you'll be fine.
