The previous post is right, BUT since you already have the interview your chances are much better. They want to hear your side of it.
The one ticket in the last three years is nothing (assuming it wasn't reckless or somethimg like that).
The suspension 4 years ago might or might not be a big deal...If you're 23 and it happened when you were 19...a person can grow up a lot in 4 years.
But if you're 38 and you had your license suspended at age 34, they will probably assume that if you hadn't learned by age 34 you never will...
Eagle is pretty stringent (they assume that you will end up at mainline someday). Other regionals might be more forgiving. Like the other guy said: DO NOT LIE. Even if your record is expunged...it might be expunged at the county level, but not in other places. Remember there's a federal background check involved.
