And yes, I would assume NO tickets over 35yrs would be a bit preposterous for most of us. Although I do know a few people who have zero.
Of course a lie detector test isn't part of the interview, but a complete background check is. Delta doesn't expect perfection, but they do expect honesty. Regardless of whether or not a moving violation is on a record, if they ask I'd tell them. You want to risk this job for a speeding ticket you don't report? Seems short sighted.
