I would disclose it as one of the questions usually is "have you received any communication from the FAA regarding a investigation etc.."

I wouldn't worry about it you'll get hired, you will however get fired if you don't disclose things.

These guys are right on. Honesty is always the best policy. If you lie, they might hire you for management.

Just disclose it and move on. Regionals won't care even the "better" ones. Just be straight aboht it, what happened,and what you learned and how you made sure not to have it happens it again. If you don't tell them. They WILL learn about it, especially if it came, or was reported to a FSDO. Any serious background check, which they will do will bring it up. Just be honest and most likely they won't care. Yes regionals are still excusing people a week into ground school for stuff like this when people don't bring it up in the interview.

FWIW, I had an actual violation as a CFI, stupid mistake but completely guilty. Filed an ASAR/NASA form. Received the "violation but no action, no suspension" letter. Disclosed it, talked about it, and got hired. Good Luck.
This!!! Mess up, fess up. We ALL have things we have messed up. You are NOT alone. Talk about it, take ownership of your mistakes, show how you've grown as a result. You will be fine.

I'm ready to apply to the regionals and I'm wondering how I should deal with reporting it and how it will effect my hiring eligibility.

Anyone have an experience with this?
I don't know where you are applying to but I spoke with a recruiter today and they mentioned that they just want honesty. I've you've done something ie failed checkride, violation, and such then be up front and don't hide it. A warning letter is not a big deal. Just put it down on an application if its asked.

This applies to the mainlines as well.

Never. Hide. Anything. If it's something they don't care about, they will at least be impressed that you were honest enough to bring it up. If it is something they care about, disclosing it is indeed vital to your career as others have said.

PRIA is one thing, but airlines usually request a copy of your airmen records (with your consent), which is a different animal than when they make a PRIA inquiry. This is where they see part 61/142 check ride failures, etc. Although the record should be expunged, the only way to know for sure is to request a copy of your airmen records. If it's not expunged, it'll be in your airmen records. It's always a good idea to know what is in there before applying to airlines. The FSDO does not have access to this, as it's kept in OKC. Additionally, there are some good guides on the FAA.gov website about PRIA and FOIA. I think these should be mandatory reading for any commercial pilot.

Yep, just did this a few weeks ago actually. The process was as complicated as printing out a piece of paper, filling out the required info and dropping it in the nearest mailbox. Got my records back the next week. A few weeks after that I got a package with my COMPLETE medical (FAA) history in it. That one might have been a little overkill, but it's never a bad thing to know exactly what's on all your records, even if you're not expecting to find anything.

Oh, and ALWAYS check the "I want a copy too" box when filling out all the PRIA paperwork.
