Honestly it’s not as if step letters are handed out like candy. You have to step on your crank pretty bad to get one.

Second hand account: Pilot refuses an assignment (a junior man event on a day off) because he has paid for expensive tickets to a sporting event on said day. Is given a missed assignment. Company didn’t appreciate the pilot refusing to work on his day off, so they dig into his HI10 and see a few sick calls that weren’t “cleared”. Company retaliates by adding a letter to the pilots file for not clearing sick calls. Pilot could care less because he is protected, but just goes to show that a scenario like this could not be that far off for intimidation/or flow prevention for no-protected pilots.

There’s not really a stated time frame it’s “active.” I’ve heard in some accounts a pilots been told to revisit to get it reviewed & removed in a year or two assuming no other issues arise.

6-8 I'd say is a realistic timeframe.

Long prison sentence. Hope you get out sooner!

Step letters are active for 2 years o believe. Someone will be the sacrificial lamb next year. Gotta keep the pilot group in line.

Looks like it's 2 years ("No further discipline"), unless overturned by the grievance and/or System Board of Adjustment procedures. It's in your file for 5 years for PRIA purposes.

Being in PRIA does not prevent you from flowing. An "active" letter (2 years) does.
ANY airline, by LAW, is required to keep every letter/training record for 5 years. That is not unique to AAG.
