Major invite but now question about app
Feeling a little nervous for this one. I had what I though was an application that disclosed everything. One cfi ride bust, listed all speeding tickets, etc., Updated it for the better part of two years amost daily.
Received the invite from a major recently and have been going through everything again to ensure accuracy for the 1,000th time. As for the driving record, I went to the DMV and confirmed all the moving violations that were listed. No surprises there. However, after rereading a few of the questions about fines paid and infractions, I’m starting to realize I may have missed a few things. I owned a sports car about 10 years ago with illegal window tint and exhaust. I was pulled over 3-4 times in regards to these before selling the car just after high school (young and dumb.) I’m not trying to hide these by any means but don’t want to make significant changes to the application after receiving the invite. For whatever reason I was focused on listing moving violations and disregarded these traffic stops.
Any tips?

It would probably be a bad idea to make changes after the invite. In recent years apparently some folks were gaming the system by checking boxes they didn't have in order to get the computer to pull their app. As soon as they got the call, they "fixed" the error in hopes that humans wouldn't notice.
So supposedly they do take a snapshot of your app when they call you.
Your issues are very minor so you could update the app and explain that you forgot about those until you looked at your DMV. You could also explain that you thought those tickets were like parking tickets and not applicable. That's probably what I'd do rather than change the app at this point.

Thanks! So you would probably just bring this up on your own during interview?

Personally, I would NOT change the app.
Were you cited every time guy were pulled over for the tint/exhaust?
I’d bring it up as a question in the interview.
“I have a question in regards to the traffic tickets section. I’ve listed all of my moving violations as accurately as possible, but am concerned because I received a violation for window tint in high school that wasn’t a moving violation. I want to be forthcoming about this, but wasn’t sure if it should go there.”

How far back on the apps are you disclosing moving violations? I am 38 and had a few back in my early twenties.

I had a speeding ticket that got converted into a parking ticket somehow. I didn't put it in the application because as to my knowledge it wasn't a speeding ticket anymore. I brought it up in the interview though just un case they dug further and it was no big deal.

I stole a piece of gum in 3rd Grade and later, in High School, I cheated on an Algebra test.
Will "The Majors" ( Oooh, Scary ) be able to check into this and should I put it on my application and then confess again in the interview ?

Airlines can barely manage their own day-to-day affairs let alone take the time and effort to give two sh!ts about anything you have done short of a an extensive Rap Sheet and numerous convictions.
