Again, I suggest that interviewees not get wrapped around the actual question but the reason behind the question. At DAL, its honesty, forthrightness, willingness to accept past failures, etc. They don't really care about your past sick leave, they care if you are going to lie about it or try, in some way, to dodge that question.
Bottom line: mess up, fess up.

Does anyone have any insight into this question on the united addendum on airline apps. The last part says paid a fine. I've paid fines for traffic tickets that I put in the section about traffic violations. I'm assuming this is only talking about criminal history?
** ANSWER THIS QUESTION HONESTLY, WHETHER OR NOT YOU BELIEVE YOU PRESENTLY SHOW A CONVICTION ON YOUR CRIMINAL RECORD AND WHETHER OR NOT YOUR LAWYER TOLD YOU SOMETHING WOULD NOT COUNT.
16. Have you:
A) Ever been convicted or is there now pending against you a misdemeanor or felony (civil or military charge);
B) Received deferred adjudication (even if your case was later dismissed);
C) Been part of any sort of diversion program in lieu of a conviction (even if your case was later dismissed);
OR
D) Paid a fine/ performed community service/ served any jail time?
Yes No
If yes, please explain:
NOTE:
A conviction does not automatically mean that you will not be offered a job. The crime of which you were convicted, circumstances surrounding the conviction, and how long ago the conviction occurred are important. Please provide complete information so United Airlines can make an informed decision.

The one I heard of had no training whatsoever. But even the one you mentioned is a mockery of the career. Rewarded with a 777 type for answering the phone for a week or two? Compared to what the vast majority of military and civilian pilots have to do to have a similar opportunity, that only cheapens it to the point of spitting in the face of everyone. Gee someone filled in for the receptionist at a DR's office for a week, let's let them do a kidney transplant cause its super cool!
You might be right about the interview vs the job now versus then. But "back in the day" being intern was absolutely worshipped by UAL to the point of jumping the entire profession to get an almost automatic interview that was an almost automatic job offer. IMO that's not good for anyone when 500 hour pilots can walk into a competitive job where everyone else needs 5000+ or mil equivalent...it just cheapens it for everyone. I hope those days are gone and don't ever come back. Unfortunately one negative of the "pilot shortage" are some of the upcoming bridge programs that could end up putting some shockingly low qualified pilots into seats at all levels of the profession.

I asked this question to an interview prep company. They stated that the airline is asking if you ever paid a fine. The question does not state that they want any fines besides traffic. The prep company said that the airline is expecting you to list all fines paid. My two cents worth, do what you want.
