I've got two failed orals, no failed checkrides. Don't know if there is a difference in the eyes of the airlines. Probably not. The first one I'll take responsibilty for, the second one was kinda BS. Really BS, actually. No DUI's, no speeding tickets in the last 5 years. It would really suck if that's what ruins my prospects for employment. I guess it only takes one crusty old examiner to throw a monkey wrench in your (hopeful) plans. I'm sure I'm not the only one in the same situation.
Your situation is fine. Be ready to explain how you learned from your mistakes and have moved on, as evidenced by XXXXXX. The five years since on traffic tickets is great.

You might lie during an interview, and you might be given an offer of employment. If you do lie, when the PRIA paperwork comes back several weeks later, you will (almost certainly) be uncerimoniously removed from training and shown the door.
If you are serious about a career in the airlines, be honest, (and I hope you learned something more than your false bravado would indicate), and be ready to explain what happened in each of those four failures, and how you've benefited and learned from them.

I've said it before, I'm no optimist. However, it is plain to see that things are slowly taking a turn for the better in our industry. Is it great? Absolutely not. Will there ever be a "pilot shortage"? I don't think we'll ever see that. Let's face it though, barring some other catastrophic event, hiring will be fast and furious by the beginning of 2013 with a gradual build-up until then.
As others have said on this and other threads, airlines all around the world are hiring. That benefits us all.
We should do our best to ensure that the 1,500 hrs requirement and enhanced flight time/duty limitations are not diluted. IMO, those are the things that we have some influence over that will benefit us greatly.
