I think its about the total record. I think the fact that he used ASAP, and that its been expunged would both help. If that's all he's got on his record, I wouldn't sweat it too much. If its that, plus 3 failed checkrides, plus a DUI - different story. Just my 2 shillings.
Best to fess up to it, even if he thinks its not on record anymore, though. If you fess, and they don't find it, they're impressed. If you don't fess and they do find it, major strike.
And on the retirement track - JG said in the CVG base meeting the other day that we currently have more than 600 pilots over 60 on property. He said that number is over 1700 in 2 or 3 years. They're also only forecasting 10% of those guys to retire before 65, which is probably pretty conservative.

The MSP pilot lounge is horribly depressing. I keep getting these long productivity sits there. I just go to the food court and set up my computer up against the windows and watch the F ramp. You can get the Pilot Wifi signal there.

I'm sure the involved party knows the difference and would not make it look worse than it really was by using the wrong term.
Folks have gotten interviewed and hired with past Letters of Warning. As others have written, honesty is always the best policy. Even if the FAA does not have the letter on file, it will survive for eternity in the employer's personnel file and get picked up during a PRIA request.
Another tip ... if a person has a letter that will get picked up in a PRIA request, it is fine to add a letter from the Pilot explaining the circumstances and correcting anything the employer got wrong. In some cases that helps mitigate an ugly letter and since it be sent in the same package as the PRIA response it looks official.
