Yes, but there is no way to get a unsubstantiated disapproval expunged. It's illogical to me that violations, incidents, and other enforcement actions disappear, yet what you did twenty or so years ago stays with you for life. Regardless, any such "black mark" really shouldn't matter if appropriate corrective action was taken (retrains, retests, etc.). I'm not being an apologist for someone with a huge streak of failures, but each person should be looked at on a case-by-case basis, and rehabilitation should be part of that analysis.

I ultimately respect SWA's take, which is the fact that they've never hired a perfect pilot and don't intend on doing so any time soon.
