Aside from that, I've had two speeding tickets since I started driving in 2011.
How will this affect me if I want to interview for an airline pilot position? Should I just keep working in my current field?
If you have no training issues or additional problems along the way, none of that would be disqualifying. You can't afford to highlight yourself in a negative way going forward though.
I'm assuming the FAA is already aware of your DUI reduced to reckless driving?
