What he said.

But if all is correct and both asaps are accepted then both pilots would be protected from FAA and company discipline, even if there was finger-pointing or he-said/she-said.

Where this could go horribly wrong is if one pilot did something intentionally, and the other pilot (perhaps not aware at the time) dimed him out. Then you might have one pilot excluded and one accepted.

Not doing a checklist could well be unintentional (ie forgot) but if the other pilot reported that the CA verbalized that he didn't want to do a checklist that could be bad.

Sterile violations are likely going to be intentional though, reporting that on an asap is probably going to screw the other guy. Actually both pilots will likely get interrogated while they try to figure it all out. Bad.

Best thing is to coordinate ASAPs so they don't contradict each other or risk being excluded. Don't lie but it's proper to debrief an event like this...hopefully everybody can agree on what happened. You don't HAVE to report an intentional violation on the part of the other pilot, so I don't think there's a crime of omission.
