ASAP Benefits
With ASAP reports being opened for the ambulance-chasers to go after Comair over the Lexington crash I am mulling through the consequences. I know the ASAP program has brought positive changes to airline safety. I'm hoping I can pick everybody's brain about specific changes you are familiar with (I only know of a couple smaller ones from my experiences).

ASAP is really good at identifying developing problem trends, or problems no one knew about becuase everyone assumed they were the only one.
Individual pilots who don't speak up about issues they encounter may just assume that the problem was bad luck or a fluke...when in reality many other crews may have had the same problem.
Example: A new or updated navigation system might have a glitch which makes it easier for pilots to get off course on a departure. This could continue until several near misses occur, at which point ATC would probably complain to the airline. With ASAP those deviations which don't necessarily result in a great deal of ATC attention will show up as a trend to management so they can investigate earlier and hopefully resolve the problem before any significant events occur.
