If you don't have the details, it would be better to say "several minor speeding tickets 1992-1999" than to omit it and have it pop up on a background check. But there's still risk... they might decide that "several" might mean 20+ and elect to just not take a chance. So if you cabn find the details, that would be better.
Bear in mind that (unlike white collar jobs) there's often not a lot of substantial career meat to compare civilian pilots, so it often comes down to the little things.
And the other guys are correct, any hint of attitude will get you shown the door about as fast as getting caught in a lie. Airlines really don't like cowboys or "elite personalities".
Thanks, just trying to understand the process. So if I can fog a mirror, I can walk into any regional and flow to any major sans any assessment, Hogan, driving record. It just doesn’t make much sense to me.
