A 330 Capt making 156/hr? Those guys will NEVER make up the lost wages and income before they retire.
But, hey, the didn't implement the Nicolau right?
And they followed the same law firm over the cliff that the DPA has retained. It was only after it was too late that Cleary realized the disaster. Highlights from his letter to USAPA pilots with regards to the DPA chief counsel:
- "incompetence and billing irregularities"
- "pro-management business relationships"
- "poor reputation among labor advocates"
- "vindictive"
- "single point of failure"
- "overbilling problems"
- "breaches his fiduciary obligation"
- "Seham bills were "un-auditable",
- "some of the most uninformative invoices ever seen"
- "a significant deviation from the standard bills law firms submit"
- "irregularities in Seham's billing practices"
- "presided over his own demise at many labor unions"
