If you omit something and it is brought up in the interview, you are done, they are asking to see your reaction before they send you packing. If you put it on the application, you'll have a chance to explain yourself when called. It is too risky to omit and hope they don't ask.
With the new regulations coming out because of the Buffalo crash, it's best to assume they will find out.

Not that I have a dog in the fight but sometimes speeding tickets don't read as speeding tickets. Several (4 or 5) years ago, I was ticketed for "failure to obey a posted highway sign". I was asked how fast I was going since the assumption was that it was a speed limit sign. In VA, depending on who pulled you over, the citation may use that code since it can be used for several violations. I actually wasn't moving when the trooper walked up to me and told me the cross-overs on the highway were for emergency vehicles only. I was following a line of traffic and 4 of us got caught. I do include that on my applications I fill out and then have to clarify. I think in the future for you guys, there will be a lot of assuming from across the table.

And no, it was not me. Thanks for making that assumption.

Turns out one of the F/Os I used to fly with, who was also in my opinion one of the best F/Os to fly with, had omitted the fact that he'd worked for another regional airline (which he'd left under presumably not-so-good terms) in the past on his application. With PRIA in place, that was not a smart thing to do!

I know a guy that left off some of his failures and thought he would explain it away at the interview. When he told them, the interview was over. They said they weren't at that level of pilot skills and that he wouldn't have gotten the interview if they knew.
