737Jock, you know as well as I do that there is also a list of mandatory events which MUST be reported as an ASR.
These include, but are not limited to, such events as Engine fire or failure, systems failures, Go-around below 500', bird strikes, lightening strikes, any damage occurring during flight, injury to crew or passengers and so on. Therefore, neglecting to file an ASR when you land and relying on the fact that the initial discussion will be between yourself and the analyst will only be seen as you trying to avoid the consequences.
Hence you will certainly be invited for tea and biscuits by your Mngmnt.
My advice to all Captains is that if you have encountered any of the events which need reporting, do so as soon as you land. Not when you get back to base, but as soon as you land. If you're in Berlin, Budapest, Bombay or Birmingham, no matter where, do it straight away.
Both EZY and RYR have an almost 100% recovery rate of data from FLIDRAS so you will not escape detection by simply ignoring it.
Responsibility is something you earn with your fourth stripe. If you need to use it, do so in a responsible manner, not by trying to duck the issue.
