JB come on. If you are that afraid of what the FAA might do to you then make boat payments to lawyers. But I am not convinced the FAA is a bunch of kangaroos out to get giggles and notch their belts at the expense of justice and truth. Many of them were professional pilots before joining the Agency anyway. Somebody has to ask why such-and-such busted that altitude or flew the wrong way, and they are tasked with that objective. If being a success in professional piloting boils down to how much money one spent paying their way out of their own mistakes, what's the difference between that and outright corruption in government. If I saw a pilot applicant with thousands of hours saying he's made a few minor mistakes, no bent metal and clean tickets, then I would think great he's honest and has broader experience than others.
