From the Cage Consulting website:
Just Be Honest...Seriously!
Monday, 28 August 2017
As you read the small print on your airline applications you will see that you are giving permission for the airline to review areas of your background.
The information required by the PRIA is the MINIMUM airlines are required to collect. In addition to gathering the records required by PRIA, most airlines also do their own background checks which can include credit checks, employer references (not just five years), extensive record reviews, criminal background checks, etc.
When you sign your application you are stating that everything you have listed on that application is true to the best of your knowledge. Airlines take this statement very seriously. Airlines do not ask questions such as, "Have you ever had a FAA violation (traffic ticket, job termination, etc.), that we can find?" In fact, many questions will have no time limit: "Have you ever had a traffic ticket (failed a checkride, been terminated, had an incident, etc.)?"
Airlines are looking for pilots that have integrity, the ability to distinguish right from wrong, someone who is accountable for their actions, professional and honest. These traits are made evident by how you answer these questions on the application BEFORE you get the interview.
It is possible to overcome a serious problem in your background by being forthcoming but it is almost impossible to overcome the appearance of being dishonest by trying to hide it.
NOW is the perfect time to address these concerns. Contact Cage Marshall Consulting today and ask about our application review, background check, and special concerns services.
Being proactive today will prevent you from having to be reactive before or during your interview.

While I don't think you need to consult with them for a regional app, the rest of it is nonetheless good advice. And it they gave you for free.
