I can't imagine why he would want to fly at any US carrier even if they would hire him. He's not going to escape ridicule there anymore than he would at Eagle.

That's why they hired him!

Quite the impressive resume.

If this is true it is not acceptable.

That's a really good question.

The fact that another company hired this guy is ridiculous. Only someone who is completely insane would have made that stuff up. How does he even hold a medical? Maybe someone should drop a dime to OK City...

Captain Tony,

It is inconceivable that the FAA would let this guy anywhere near airplanes at all. Remember when they zealously went after Bob Hoover's medical? The FAA is proving once again what an enormous dysfunctional bureaucracy it really is.

Somebody please tell me it's a different person with the misfortune of having the same name.

Alleged? Wasn't his story telling pretty much proven?

This is a really sad statement on the airline industry's hiring practices as a whole and this carrier inparticular.
Over and over on these forums, it is said how you have to have a clean record, no bad paper, format on the resume had better be outstanding, and on and on; yet someone with this KNOWN history can get hired?

Not only bad on the FAA and the airlines, but worse than all those..ALPA.

I thought ALPA had to "approve" new-hires at ALPA carriers. Guess as long as hes paying dues...

Tim Martins is giving the airline the second chance.
