Am I pretty much doomed for future airline interviews REGIONALS?

IN WHICH STATE DO YOU LIVE? You should go get a really good tan, grow out your hair, don't shave, and go to one of those states that gives drivers licenses to illegals. You might have to add a few letters to your name though.

Suffering from a case of xenophobia are we? What the hell does that have to do with the subject matter of the post?

To answer the original question, I would agree with the other posts that go along the line of get a lawyer to do what he can and explain it at the interview. I don't think it's that big a deal.

If it's strictly a proof of insurance suspension (with no other underlying issues), I don't think it's going to be much of a problem. It will likely appear on your NDR report, so be sure to disclose it on the application.

Personally, I choose not to drive to work. There are plenty of alternatives, and any employer should recognize that.

It has to do with getting a drivers license, and being sarcastic.

Anyways, not the slightest bit, but if it makes you feel good attacking people on the forums, cool. I don't really see how that is xenophobic? I never said I had a problem with it, in fact, I recommended it.

Not sure what state you are in, but as a current TN State Trooper (at least for 3 more weeks), insurance violations are fairly common. In TN you can be cited for not having insurance and can be given time (til your court date) to get an insurance policy good for at least 6 months. If on the court date you provide a current policy, the citation will be dismissed..end of story. A few counties might be different, but overall this is the way it works.

Its an easy "fix-it-ticket".

However, if you don't provide insurance by your court date, your license will be suspended. Not a good deal when you had time to get a policy because the judge will ask.

Many states work this way. Its not the end of the world, I write 8-10 citations a week for insurance violations.

IN YOUR FAVOR:
1) a sympathetic judge
2) a good attitude
4) neatly dressed
5) no history of violations
6) a good attorney in your back pocket (just in case you need one)

in that order...........based on my experience in LE over 11 years.

GOOD LUCK!
