An employer that is interested in hiring you to fly their fifty million dollar turbojet aircraft with hundreds of millions of dollars in liability and lives and reputation on the line is absolutely interested in your ability to operate a vehicle responsibly.
"Reckless" is not acting responsibly.
You've got no flight time and no experience, and therefore no leg to stand on when seeking employment. Approaching it from the position of a flippant attitude won't help your case.
Take it very seriously. Your potential employers will, and you've plenty of competition that will understand the implications of irresponsible behavior. You're posting in other threads regarding your frustration at not finding work at your experience level. Don't compound that by simple mistakes and reckless behavior.
