Just for clarification it's not the DMV that the airlines pull your record from, it's the National Drivers Registry (NDR). The records are a complete history not just 7 to 10 years. Do yourself a favor and list everything they requested. The last thing you want to do is be hired only to be told in the middle of ground school that you are no longer welcome.

Not true. NDR only shows major action like suspension or revoked etc. There is no master server with all Americans ticket history. Many small towns don't and aren't required to send ticket info to the dmv. Some don't want the sate to know how many tickets they issue, esp during budget cuts. The local clerk of court may still have a record though even if the dmv doesn't. If they don't then it didn't happen


Without the proper paper work, it didn't happen, is the FAA's well established view.

The above reply is correct regarding the NDR and no master server for tickets. Look, if you want to know exactly what the airlines will see on you it is very simple:

1. Order your PRIA records from FAA.
2. Order a copy of your NDR file.
3. Order a copy of your DMV records.
4. Order a copy of your states Department of Justice records.
5. Order a copy of your FBI Identity History Summary (criminal history record).
6. Order a full background SS# check on yourself using any reputable online background check company.
7. If prior military, review your complete discharge paperwork.

The only variable to the above is item #1. Some legacy airlines order your full airman file from the FAA. That will contain your PRIA and your primary training records from flight school. Other than that, it is not a mystery what they have access to.

Seriously, disclose any and all tickets rather than trying to figure out which ones show up on your record. I can't tell you the number of people we take out of class, simply because they weren't honest about there record.

Thank you, this is a very comprehensive list! Any suggestions on reputable background check companies?

I have no problem disclosing the couple of speeding tickets I've had over the years. My problem is that -I- don't have a record of them, and neither does my state DMV. It shouldn't be in the NDR because as others stated, that only contains serious offenses. So I guess my only way of restoring that info is to order a background check on myself. Or guess

That's a good idea! Which service did you use?

Along the same lines, college GPA? Seriously? Do they really care?
If that's your opinion on the matter good luck with that application with delta.

The OP's first post indicated that this is first 121 application, so I just assumed it was for the regionals. Although I could be wrong if he has previous military, corporate, or 135 flight time.

If his app is for the regionals then he is best just listing the ticket anyway and giving an approximate date. A 15 year old speeding ticket is not going to dealbreaker at any regional that I know of given the current hiring climate. Then at least he can get his name in the hat that much quicker and hopefully get a sooner class date than if he waited around for several weeks waiting for all of these reports to come in from various government agencies. Of course that is assuming that he only has a couple of minor traffic offenses. Major traffic offenses are a different story.
