this isn’t fair I’m paying twice for my mistakes
Any suggestions

A very old DUI will not immediately disqualify you from working for a regional, or even a low cost like Spirit.
You will struggle to move on to a major with something like that on record, although that would only be an opportunity if a green card was available.
You will be required to list it anyway on the DS-160 form for your E3 visa application. It will come up in your visa interview.
The US is very very anti-drink driving, even more so then Australia. But it does not make you inadmissible. Like everything regarding US immigration it is up to the consular officer on the day to approve the visa.
It will also come up in your FAA medical, so be prepared for that as well.
