Did not say that he was. Here is exactly what I did say:

Seham's report was one of the basis' for the TWA pilots to investigate. It was a comprehensive report that laid out what ALPA did. The TWA attorneys got to use it as a road map of investigation. ALPA objected and convinced the judge to not allow it as direct evidence, but it wasn't needed as direct evidence. Its tool as a road map was plenty to help the TWA pilots gain their verdict against ALPA.
No untruths at all slowplay, however you should pay attention better as opposed to reading only enough to refute, then jump on the keyboard. Just trying to spread the truth about Lee's work and his firm...and I do it all with no flight pay loss.
DPA is very lucky to have a firm that fights extremely hard and beats ALPA...not that it's that hard.
