Looks like one of our own's consulting business might be in a little trouble. He might have to go back to flying the line full time.

While I find it a little distasteful for a "union guy" to get an ALPA consulting gig while still in the employ of an airline, IMO, any bias or liability falls squarely on his shoulders - assuming his "consulting business" is properly set up. Also, the DPA writer raises some valid questions at the end of his article.
I do find it interesting that the DPA writer posted this in the UCAL thread. This board doesn't really have teeth. The letter might have been more appropriately written to ALPA, NLRB, or the arbitrators. Is it possible that his consultation is as effective as (one guy's) opinion in the late stages of the AA bankruptcy?
