A normal, or should I say, decent airline has a proper SMS in place, where pulling data out of the QADR's are used to improve safety, and are not intended to be used in a punitive way, unless safety was deliberately jeopardized. This pilot should have filled out an "Air Incident Report", detailing the occurrence. If this pilot made a "mistake", the data collected should be used to avoid future happenings and not be used as a blame towards that individual. Hope this satisfies your query.
