I just wouldn't want to be turned away for a chance to tell my side of the story. What about getting it expunged? Is that an option?
If it asks for it, and you do not put it down, you will be sent home from the interview or fired later, depending on when they find out about it.
If you omit it from the application (and they specifically asked) you will be sent home from the interview if you disclose it at that time.
You might denied without getting to tell your side, but at least you can apply again later after some time has passed. That's better than getting fired...
You were fairly young, so time is on your side. Apply to every airline which is accepting apps, you might get lucky but plan on a few more years of GA or 135.
Getting it expunged will not necessarily work with the airline TSA background check, that is a long, complicated discussion (search the forums here, we've been down that road before).
