Buddy of mine is a realtor in Florida and was showing me the monthly list from the state of real estate license suspensions and revocations for even small little crimes. Fraud from your coworkers union money should bar them from holding any license requiring moral character.
Why haven't these guys just resigned their offices before this blew up?
Some of them fall in the 824. They were asked to resigned a few months ago and they just blew it off. During the last MEC meeting there was a recal vote schedule but a deal was made having the chairman admiring the violations, he would change the way reimbursements were made and apologize. After he was informed the membership had turned evidence in, the attorney informed the MEC that they shouldn't admit to any fault. They didn't but the recall was taken off the agenda as the MEC has the majority of lec reps on their side as most of them are part of the problem. But now ALPA national is separating themselves from the AE MEC as they see the legal implications. The company has helped these guys prolong their time in office as during MEC meeting we have members who don't really follow the MEC get check airman training or when heat is applied to the MEC chairman he attends training and pushing the MEC meeting down the road. But I guess now the company is distancing themselves from the guys.
It's a lonely place when the company distance themselves, ALPA national strips things from you and asks for further explanations and requests payments, your membership hates you, your lec members start to retrieve and the authorites start probing.
