That's what I was getting at...it's happened. Like ACL says, just be honest.
If there is something you don't feel comfortable with/ insecure about then get interview prep for it and be prepared to handle it like a champ.
Be more concerned about your letter's of recommendation then a couple of speeding tickets. That, tied with your qualifications are what tells them you are worth interviewing.

True, I had several speeding tickets. They want to see that you are honest and that you have a compliance oriented attitude. That you'll do your best to obey the rules.
I had heard a hard limit of 4 tickets. However, these days it is very easy get ticketed in some parts of our nation and the average applicants are MUCH older than they used to be. I think there is greater flexibility unless your ticket involved something you really should not have been doing in the first place. A ticket to 10 over is a lot different than leading the Police on a high speed chase through a school zone.

Two questions...
Would it be better to keep recommendations in from 2007 for longevity or have your recommendations updated?
Also, can someone elaborate on having every blank spot filled in on the application. There are some questions that do not apply to me and come out blank when I review the application. I made sure to answer all of the questions required (in red), but that still leaves some blank when I review. Is this ok, or should I put N/A for all of these questions. I know this was discussed in detail last year, but I still was unclear about what I should do after the exhaustive discussion.
Thanks!

But, if you are in a section of the app and you're not sure if it applies to you, I'd put "N/A" or whatever you think best describes the situation - it shows that you didn't miss the question or ignore it.

Are you willing to bet this kinda job on that? Be honest and tell them, or get hired and live with the fact that if they find out later they have a reason to fire you. Simple, isn't it?
And just in case somebody going for an interview here has missed it; B E - H O N E S T.

All, I know a couple of guys that were scheduled for interviews during the last hiring spell and were subsequently canceled. Anyone know if they will be calling the ones in that position first then to the app pool or will they be thrown back in with the masses? Thanks.

What do I need to do? Have had my app in for several years. 6000+ TT. 2000+ jet PIC. No BS. No skeletons. Good recommendations. College degree.
The silence of my phone is deafening.
