Amid crackdown, union says pilots should report any ATC deviation
While the intent of the policy shift appears to be to encourage pilots to self report deviations, ALPA says pilots who have been assured by controllers that the transgression is a minor one not worthy of FAA attention have found out later that they've been written up.

The take from Air Tradfic Management: "US pilots urged to flood whistleblower scheme".

Nice post, Dean. Pretty much agrees with my feelings about the ASAP. I told my pilots in the company to ALWAYS use the ASAP. It's free (must be legal, unintentional, no alcohol/drugs or falsification) and is a pass out of jail.
when I was in ATC pilots and controllers covered for each other .... unless the mistake was noticed by the public or a supervisor was watching... there was a general sense of partnership... we and the pilots did have an avenue to report safety errors without penalty but, again, we used it for the worst cases.... unless we were at war with the FAA.... then we flooded the system
Tom - Sir - If they performed their job - they would not have to worry about CYA.
Thank you sir.

Thank you sir.

Ret,
sometimes we all make mistakes.... some are worse than others... even you have....
Lt. Gene, I can suppose by your ignorant comment that you have NEVER made an honest mistake?
Bottom line, any pilot doing anything that could be construed as a violation (altitude over 300' off) etc.. file the NASA form (do it online) and at least if there is some action and your behavior wasn't wilful there will be no penalty.
