Is everyone here missing what I've mentioned in my last 3 posts? The way to disclose is through ASAP or NASA, period! I see that you are an F/O at an airline, so let me ask you this. If you screw up on the line, do you call the FAA directly and tell them, or do you go through your ASAP program (or NASA if ASAP is unavailable)? Once again, the FAA views these submissions as DISCLOSURE. By going through the FAA directly you are opening a HUGE can of worms, and I would strongly advise if you go this route to have an attorney consultation first.
