Another reckless driving question..
In the state of VA if you get pulled over for exceeding 20 mph over the posted speed limit or over 80 mph then that is considered reckless driving. Its been just over 10 years ago now when I was pulled over for going 83 mph in a 65 zone and I did in fact get a reckless driving charge. That was the last speeding ticket I've had.
Any opinions on how much this will effect me going forward with airline applications? I'm a T-45C IP in the Navy and I formerly flew EA-6B Prowlers. I have just over a year left on active duty.

Seriously though, just own up to your mistakes and what you learned. Do you have a history of similar incidents? If this was recent it might have the computers spit you out of the applicants for the interviews. It all depends on the airline and their policy at the time.

I don't have any similar incidents on my record. And as I said, that was the last ticket I got so hopefully that will speak for itself with regards to me learning my lesson. But I will of course be honest and put it down on my applications. And 83 in a 65 is reckless?! And its been almost 11 years. Anyways, like most aspiring airline pilots I've put a lot of work into my flying career and hopefully something like this won't be too big of a road block.

As far as the automated application screening systems...who knows, nobody can answer that one. I assume they automatically reject any applicant with reckless/DUI (saves having to pay a person to actually consider and weigh all factors), but hopefully they have an "expiration date" for something like this. But I think if you can get past the computer, you'll be fine.

Did your "reckless" make the NDR record, or just state?

NDR is a computerized database of information about drivers who have had their licenses revoked or suspended, or who have been convicted of serious traffic violations such as driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs. State motor vehicle agencies provide NDR with the names of individuals who have lost their privileges or who have been convicted of a serious traffic violation.
