The FAA rep was the company's ASI. He knew it was bullsht and talked me into taking a counselling and promised to expunge the record after a year. I lost the job but won the grievance (from my point of view: I agreed to never work for them again and they paid me $26K). Thanks union.

My advice: Feel out the FAA rep, unless you really did something bad he'll probably just want to clear the books. Be humble and reasonable with him and don't look back. Its a risk you take in HEMS.
