While it may feel good to vent on here, it does nothing to effect change. You would get the proper visibility by filing ASAP reports, it is what the program is made for. The get out of jail free card thing was a carrot to get guys to do it.

Ideally people would file ASAPs to improve safety on things they don't screw up on too.

Ironically, when my previous carrier pulled the ASAP letter due to management misusing the reports, FAA deviations plummeted. It seems, the best way to reduce deviations is to actually get rid of ASAP because guys were paying more attention.
