You can cast erroneous aspersions on my analogies if you like, and I get it that you did not like that one I used with a hypothetical mugger. I'll try and choose more pleasing analogies just for you. Like I said, I have nothing against employers, that was your erroneous assumption.

JB, I gave you a solid reference on the warning letter issue, and the fact is the FAA does not disclose them in the outgoing PRIA reports that it issues to requesting employers. That's a matter of fact. I am willing to talk some more about the implications of this fact, such as whether it is illegal (and by what law) for an employer to demand them given FAA policy clearly shows they do not disclose them; but for now I need you to concede you lost that one little argument. If you are sporting enough to do this, I'll gladly move onto other subtopics in this area.

So- show me where it says warning letters are to be included in PRIA disclosures to employers, or something to that effect.

I surfed up another reference showing that Warning Letters are not included in PRIA disclosures (emphasis added)-

1-2. Actions NOT Reported By PRIA:

PRIA does NOT provide information concerning accidents or incidents in which the pilot may have been involved, any type of administrative action such as a warning letter, as well as enforcement cases that are still open, pending, cases under appeal, or reopened, when reporting on a pilot’s performance record.

FAA’s Office of Chief Council has determined that doing so could be unfair to the pilot because:
1. These reports may or may not involve pilot error.
2. Pilots identified in accident and incident reports do not receive the same due
process protections enjoyed by legal enforcement actions; and
3. Open cases that have not been fully reviewed by FAA, NTSB, or possibly by a
U.S. Court of Appeals, could eventually be dropped or dismissed by the court.

Here’s another one (scroll down to Figure 14-5, emphasis added)-

About Administrative Action

Warning Notices and Letters of Correction are Administrative Actions. Administrative action is authorized by 14 CFR part 13 and is routinely used for minor infractions instead of legal enforcement (e.g., suspensions, revocations, or fines).

Legal Effect. Neither a warning notice nor a letter of correction constitutes a finding of violation and, therefore, notice and hearing are not required.

Recourse Available. The determination to issue the notice or letter is based on the facts and circumstances surrounding the alleged violation(s) including any information you provided. An airman or company can introduce additional pertinent information in explanation or mitigation by writing to the reporting inspector or district office manager within 30 calendar-days of the date of the notice or letter. Administrative actions can be withdrawn.

Release of Information. When the FAA responds to Pilot Records Improvement Act (PRIA) requests, only final legal enforcement actions resulting in a finding of violation are released. Enforcement database information pertaining to No Actions, Administrative Actions, or Legal Actions in process or under appeal, are not released under the PRIA. However, administrative action information may be released pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
