Generally, the first instruction any lawyer is going to give you is to not talk about the case with anyone. So can we assume that it was the pilot that was not paying attention that discussed the supposed conversation regarding the ALPA attorney's responsibilities? The best advice you can pass to the friend of the friend is to stop talking, and listen to the professionals.
