Charge was essentially dropped but it’s still in the background checks. United and Delta gives you a place to explain a situation like this in the airline apps, but I don’t see anywhere appropriate to put it in pilot credentials. I obviously want to own up to my mistake in the application prior to any possible interview (if I can even get one with that in my past).
“Horrible mistake”...I don’t think that’s a horrible mistake at all. That’s just part of growing up, who didn’t have a fake ID back then (don’t know how old you are, but guessing this was the 90’s) Wasn’t hard to do, pretty common. You made a minor mistake in that you got caught with it.

Owned it, show that you learned from it and have had a clean record since then.
