With all due respect, I'm not sure that I agree. In the limited number of cases where I (acting as CFI/HoT) was involved in investigating cases of alleged infringement by 'my' pilots I think the process of a non-confrontational/non-condemnatory approach based on detailed inquiry and coaching was highly beneficial to the individual(s) and also very useful in informing the bigger picture of causal factors. I can't say with certainty that they never infringed again. But I do say that they left the process hugely less likely to do so.
I think that such an approach has the potential to make a BIG difference because, as I've said many times, the root causes behind an individual incident of infringement are particulary to THAT infringement (notwithstanding the fact that they may highlight more systemic issues).
After all, at the risk of being flippant, we don't address air accidents by sending survivors on an Accident Awareness Course, that despite that fact that many many accidents have common causal factors. Each is different in its detail and warrants individual attention if we hope to prevent similar incidents in future.
