Who's gonna be left holding the bag on an NTSB investigation when it's determined that a pilot was UQ when he/she slid off the runway (or worse, the plane is at the gate, the pilot is doing everything right and a bag loader runs into the plane so badly an investigation is triggered)? You think the pilot will be given a pass because F9 training dept is incompetent?
This is more serious than I think some people think...
as long as the pilot didn’t know they dequaled due to a paperwork issue they would still be protected under the asap program just as if they hadn’t dequaled due to paperwork issues.
You can make up any scenario but as long as no alcohol was involved and an incident/accident wasn’t intentional asap should protect. Of course judgement in the decision making process is open to scrutiny as always.
