I for one find it interesting that he feels the need for this when he has simply been asked to provide substantiation for his billing to us. USAPA has an absolute right to the information we are requesting. The audit will proceed, with or without Mr. Sxxxx's cooperation.
This is a great example of why ALPA has lost the trust of many of us who are forced to be members. Clancy here is parroting the ALPA talking points as stated above. We now know that while it is true that Seham has hired legal representation, it is NOT to defend itself against any wrongdoing. It is to sue the entities responsible for hacking into their corporate email account.
If ALPA continues to use dupes like Clancy here to smear people, they're going to find themselves sued over this. Seham is not the kind of guy that will just roll over for this activity.
