But hey, first time this has happened in six years, right? Why not blow up the program and leave everyone's certificates exposed. Makes perfect sense.
Was this in reference to LGA yoke/noisemaker deal? I forgot about that. Hmmm. Yes, the ASAP program isn't a get out of jail free card. If this is what is being reffered to, then I believe the pilot should be disaplined. That program was designed as a system where a pilot could self disclose information that could help others and promote safety and in turn as long as criminal law wasn't exposed, or deliberate violation of FARs then it wouldn't be used against you. It doesn't mean that if you stop being professional and forget how to do your job, then it's just a slap on the wrist. I don't know all of the details, but I am curious to hear the details.
