The two years is now more than passed. I am now applying to other airlines. Is this something that then needs to be reported if they are asking under the PRIA section "Do you have any violations/formal written FAA warnings?"
I don't want to get canned at some point for not reporting it, but I thought the whole idea around the ASRS was to avoid the tracking of such issues. I know there hundreds of altitude deviations every year. Consequently, your responses will help many more folks than me.
Thanks much.
A bit confused here...
You never got ANYTHING from the FAA, but ONLY from your management?
In that case, then:
Q: "Do you have any violations/formal written FAA warnings?"
A: "No"
However, if you did receive a letter from the FAA regarding the altitude deviation, and you did use the ASRS to gain immunity from certificate action, you CAN still have a record of a violation according to the FAA...they just couldn't slap you for it. In THAT case, you technically do need to admit it UNLESS the LOI (Letter of Investigation) and subsequent paperwork specifically stipulated that it would be expunged from your record after a certain period (fairly typical).
That notwithstanding, how did your management find out and NOT the FAA?
