My suggestion would be to rent a conference room at RDU for the ASAP meetings and event review committee. Much easier logistics for the feds.
Mx nor Ops side of the FAA have to be physically present at the ERC meetings. Monthly meetings were scheduled well in advance with Company reps in the conference room and the FAA on the speaker phone.
Contrary to urban legend, it’s not a get out of jail card for the crewmember. Generally speaking, the FAA will accept the decision of the company ERC representatives. Interviews, investigations, and in some cases, remedial training are required.
