From 120-66B, the Advisory Circular that governs he ASAP program:


9. GUIDELINES FOR ACCEPTANCE OF REPORTS UNDER ASAP.

b. Criteria for Acceptance. The following criteria must be met in order for a report involving a possible violation to be covered under ASAP:

(2) The alleged regulatory violation must be inadvertent, and must not appear to involve an intentional disregard for safety.

So unless these pilots can be shown to have intentionally disregarded safety (possibly by disregarding sterile cockpit during taxi), then they’ll likely be accepted into the ASAP program.
