Many of us who have been around for a while have observed a new-hire being removed from class a week or two into it. It happens. I've seen two personally.
If it does show up somehow do you have a letter from the FAA saying that the LOI was sent in error and that you were never under investigation? You'll need to show that letter to CP as walks you out the front door.
If you're going to risk it, only you can decide what are the odds they'll find out. You're relying on a government bureaucracy to purge your record of confusing docs... the same one that issued they erroneous LOI to begin with?
Also even if you were placed under investigation erroneously, that's not what the question asked, is it? If they find out, that explanation may not get you off the hook.
Also like I said before, anyone familiar with this reg will understand why the FAA sent the LOI in the first place:
61.15 (e) Each person holding a certificate issued under this part shall provide a written report of each motor vehicle action to the FAA, Civil Aviation Security Division (AMC-700), P.O. Box 25810, Oklahoma City, OK 73125, not later than 60 days after the motor vehicle action. The report must include:
Like I saidbefore, it's a fairly honest mistake but technically if you didn't send the letter to the right address, it's a legit investigation.
If you get caught I don't think it will go well, at least there's a big risk it won't. So you have to decide what risk you're willing to take.
I always took the approach that I'd rather still have my old job and no interview than get fired and have no job and a PRIA report-able termination.
