Son, do you know why I pulled you over?

what about a misdemeanor charge of minor in possesion of alcohol from my college days, I got a copy of my state driving record about a year after this happened and it was listed on my driving record. even though I wasn't even near a car (I was at home in my dorm when cited, had a friend drive me home from a friends where I had the beer) how do I get this thing off my record so I can get a job without having to report this (already cost me 1 job opp that I know of)

Just don't be afraid to talk about it. Be forthright and honest about it and it shouldn't be a problem. Deal with it like any other weak area (failed checkride, training, upgrade, etc.) I know of an individual who had a similar incident and talked about it honestly and openly on an interview and was offered the job. On another case, and individual didn't mention it at an interview, was hired and was actually removed from training for it. When it's all said and done, the airline really wants to see that you are honest. While a skeleton or two in your closet shouldn't necessarily cost you a job, (most people can probably relate to having a drink or two in college) being evasive, or hiding/lying about it definitely could.

Tickets

When I interviewed with a carrier last year I didn't have one ticket to my name. The Chief pilot accused me of bending the truth and said he rarely gets anyone with less than two on their record.

I think they only care if you are a real repeat offender.
