Relax, breath deep....you're going to be fine. One thing - slow down.
As other posters have mentioned, repeated tickets will show a habit pattern that airlines may not be interested in. If on the other hand you can go into an interview and talk about the tickets as a learning opportunity - AND - that you stopped getting tickets, you'll be fine. Take responsibility, talk about changing your habit of driving as a deliberate decision, and highlite that it's no longer a problem by evidence of your clean driving record.
If you walk in and place blame on the cops, a speedtrap, the system, or the fact that "man" is holding you down - airlines will most certainly pass.
