GMAFB.
This alleged act is not the purview of professional standards. Rather, it is a criminal act. It is appropriate to report it to the relevant authorities.
If, a person or persons, hacked this group's accounts and disabled it's donation link causing harm to their legal activities, it is a criminal act. If it proves to be more than one person engaging in this activity, it is a criminal conspiracy. If the same person(s) made subsequent attempts to contact one of the victims, it gets even worse.
My point is this, once the phone calls were placed, this goes way beyond a conflict of personalities. If it transpired as alleged, it's criminal.
Too bad, someone may have just ruined their life with a really stupid act. They had better get a lawyer and fast.
LeineLodge, I'm just line swine. I'm the heart and mind that both groups seek to represent.
Let's consider some potential possibilities. If this person or persons who are allegedly willing to commit wire fraud had taken this even further and showed up on a fellow pilot's doorstep to explain things, it could end in a tragedy.
Last year, we saw a passionate DALPA defender assault and batter a fellow pilot at a DALPA meeting in Peachtree City. It only ended because cooler heads stepped in to stop it.
Professional Standards is for professional activities in the cockpit. Not for union activities. Professional Standards is not for criminal activities.
