I did my interview last week and I got a job offered from a regional.. I dont think they ran a background check on me yet. I am really concerned about one speed ticket and two possible pilot deviations( both of them ended up warning).
Any thoughts?
Am I over concerned about it?

But they did ask me about any faa violation/incident/accident
Since all I got was warning I said no. Now, I felt like I should have said yes and explained about those two possible deviations=/

Depends. Did you receive anything in the mail. Did they say it was for inter-office only.

No. One should always get a copy of their records to be sure, but a warning notice is not considered a violation (but it would be good to disclose) and they always have a paper trail. You'd be sent a letter of investigation and eventually, a warning notice, so if you haven't gotten any of those, there should be no record of it.

Depends on the the way the question was worded.
"Have you ever been violated" => you can answer no to that unless you were investigated, and formally violated.
"Have you ever been under investigation or violated" => in that case answer yes if violated OR you actually got the official written notification of an investigation, or possibly were notified by FSDO personnel about an investigation when they called you for info.
IMO getting a phone number and chewed out by tower/TRACON supervisor does not count as an investigation. And there would be no record. Pilot investigations are conducted by FAA/FSDO staff, not ATC personnel.
An airline might be able to get (via FOIA) records related to an investigation which did not result in violation, so probably best to be honest if actually investigated.
