As far as sole source and dual source it really doesn't change the event, if the pilots report it correctly and honestly, another source reporting does not take the teeth out of it.
Correct, doesn't matter if it's sole or non sole, as long as one of the big 5 restrictions wasn't broken such as lying on asap, or under influence of drugs or alcohol. ASAP would absolutely protect their certificate, now their jobs are another thing. ASAP is ONLY protection against certificate action.
