Finally, FWIW, I interviewed with DAL in late March and should be done with IOE next week. The interview started with, "wow, you have a lot of tickets." They were all over 25 years old so they were pretty simple to explain. They never asked me a question about the UPT busts. The good news is neither "yes" on the app kept me from getting an interview; they told us in Indoc they don't computer-eliminate people for marking "yes" on tickets or busts or anything else for that matter. Also good news is I didn't hide anything so I don't give a damn what shows up on a background check or any other check...it's all listed on my app and they were cool with it all.
I don't argue with anyone's definition of what is or isn't a checkride, what will show up on a driving history report or whatever, but Yo No Se is right:
The only thing I would add is you may not be given a chance to clarify.
Excellent Intel. Worth a note to any Delta applicant Hrkdrivr dispelled any rumors of Delta not hiring pilots that spell Delta Air Lines-->"Delta Airlines".
Congrats on 717!
