Airline apps asks for speeding tickets?
Please enter any information concerning driving violations. Include all infractions involving payment of fines, court appearances, and/or assessed penalties. If none, please continue to the next page.
For each violation, complete the form below and click the Add button to record the information
Does it really want us to put all our speeding tickets our entire lives? Also, I have a friend that is wondering if he should put that his drivers license was suspended 16 years ago. (different section of ap for that one)

I forgot they even ask for this. It irritated me then, and irritates me now.
Comparing speeding to professionalism in a cockpit is simply stupidity. "Oooh, look, this guy has 3 tickets, I'll bet that means he is more willing to ignore FAR's and will be a danger!"
Baloney. Hardly anyone drives exactly at the limit. If you do, you are almost a danger to other drivers. You go with the herd. And when you do, a ticket is a matter of bad luck, not of bad professionalism.

Good luck with your quest however.

Driving on the highways in and around ATL, DAL's biggest hub, by definition is speeding. If you happen to be the unlucky driver who gets pulled over, oh well, it's a cost of doing business.
Bottom line, be 100% honest and accurate in these disclosures. Do not try to hide this stuff. You will either not get the job, or you will get pulled out of newhire class for lying. Just tell the truth.

It's been beat to death on here before, and by pilots at DAL that are very familiar with the hiring process. Just disclose EVERYTHING. As long as it's not a novel of offenses, a DUI/DWI after a certain stage in life, etc it's simply an honesty/disclosure thing.
If you can't remember the EXACT dates and specific offenses, just type in the box "various tickets from this date to that date".
