Everything i have done up to this point has been tailored to me reaching that goal however, I don't want to waste the airlines time, or my own time and money if this accident is going to prevent me from even having any realistic chance at a flying job. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I've been told by an interview prep company that at least one of the pilots involved in

Has received interview invites from major airlines.
Will your accident set you back? Possibly. Is it a deal ender? Probably not. Time heals most wounds. Be able to explain it, what you've learned etc. and have positive work experience since then. Folks make mistakes and there are plenty of flying jobs out there.
