Pilot Record Expunction Policy Changes:
Pilot Records Expunction Policy Changes - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Apparently, the FAA is rethinking what type of pilot record items will be subject to expunction after 5 years and which ones will be retained forever. It will be interesting to see what happens and which records will now be kept on file forever.

I heard this rumor floating around the training dept for a bit now. I found this on the FAA's website but I couldn't find very much more info on the topic.
