While you are entitled to the same protections, ASRS is meant for bugsmashers and weekend warriors, not professional airline pilots.
Even (God forbid) a P-56 incursion is sealed under ASAP, unreportable to a PRIA request. No matter how bad you screw up, as long as it wasn't intentional and there is a lesson to be learned ASAP provides protection from the FAA as well as protection from disciplinary company action.
