Guys i just have to say thank you for all the support that everyone has given me!.... every time i need help and i come here i always get the friendly hand that i need... amazing how much this forum can help a soul!

Im feeling a little bit better now... and as many say.... Sh$%t happens... i just hope the person who will sit in front of me interviewing me some day thinks like you guys!

PS: I quit Dominos Pizza today... after more than 2 years working there... its just too risky for my career...

Thanks again.

LoL I don't know why I find that so funny...but you've got me goin'! But anyway, like others have said - it's nothing. I got in a fender-bender almost two years ago and went banana's. And actually, I'd probably be worried if you've never been in an accident. At least we know you're human.

I think you should just change careers now. I think you have ruined your chances forever. Bud, you will be fine. In your interview just tell them how important your customers are to you. You were in a hurry because you feared their pizza would be cold. They like those that realize how important customers are to a company along with safety (of coarse) which you jeopardized with your accident!! You will be fine just be upfront in your interview. Get a DMV record prior and know everything on it. A few years ago I had a fellow CFI not get hired because he told them he had a clean record. Come to find out he had 2 speeding tickets and a failure to yield right-of-way that were over 3 years old. Completey forgot to mention and as a result, was fired before he was even hired. Do fight this though. BTW I don't think this should be your priority right now. I would be thinking about how you are going to pay for that over-priced education your receiveing!!! Go to an FBO and save about 50k. Best of luck.

Haha, your kidding right? Pizza Hut is better anyway.

no im not kidding, and i wasnt in a hurry because the customer already received his pizza, and im not doing the "flying" at ERAU so my debt is going to be less than that... oh and im not changing my career

You'll be just fine, dude. I have 5 tickets from long ago (last one was 11 years ago), and Delta didn't bat an eye at them. You're being paranoid.

However, I would try and fight this...as much as you financially can. You might be able to get deferred prosecution or something, and then it would never end up on your record. Though, if it ends up on your record, take responsibility for it in any interview.

ASA might be cancelling my interview b/c I had too many moving violations 4 in the last 5 years, none in the last 12 mos...3 "stop sign violations," and 1 obstructing traffic. Lots of other places don't seem to care. No DUIs/DWIs.

My University's police made money giving stop sign tickets on "california stops"...and I got nailed 3 times for it (once on ice, where I didn't want to lock up the brakes and slide...guess the CRJ has anti-skid, so it shouldn't matter, but oh well).

My obs. traffic was a case where some old lady wouldn't pull forward enough on the other side of a stop light (traffic backed up in a downtown are)...I entered on a yellow figuring she'd pull up eventually, which she didn't...light turned red, 3 feet of my truck was hanging out in the intersection, and then ANOTHER old lady in the cross-traffic had to (gasp) pull around a little bit to get around me, and honked at me...which provoked an a$#*$()#*$@(#$ motorcycle cop (who always seem to be d-bags with attitutdes) to write the ticket.

University tickets show up? That can't be...and if it is, well I'm lucky to still have a job, 'cause my College rent-a-cops loved ticketing me!
