Absolutely. NASA and the FAA have a proven track record
on this one, and it's to their benefit to keep it that way.

It's not quite a get-out-of-jail-free card. It just prevents
the FAA from taking punitive action against you. They still
can record a violation on your record.

There's an interesting book published by one of the folks
who started the program. It's called Callback (the same as
their monthly publication). It's a mix of history about the
program -- how it was formed, the types of people that work
there, etc -- and thoughts on aviation safety. I'm in the
middle of it; very interesting book.
