Your usual poor grammar notwithstanding, and to the extent I can decipher your ill-informed statement, ALPA has NOT been sued (at least not yet ).

But yet our dues dollars have been wasted to stonewall, obfuscate, spin, and protect the identity of a the person whose "private writings and thoughts of a personal nature"...just happened to, out of pure blind luck and happenstance, found themselves "mapping to a domain name owned and controlled by DPA."

What were those "private writings and thoughts of a personal nature," sailing? Hmmmmmm????

The fact that ALPA national attorneys helped draft the "ALPA was not involved in any manner..." statement and the general, 'golly, gee whiz, I don't know how my "private writings and thoughts of a personal nature" just coincidentally showed up on DPA's website is so far fetched, so out of the realm of possibility, that only a blind ALPA loyalist could read this nonsense and come to the conclusion that this was much to do about nothing. Have you even read the letter, sailing?

If ALPA had nothing to do with this, why are their attorneys involved? Why did Mr. Private Writings not hire his OWN attorney, sailing? How does hacking a website, either accidentally or intentionally, have anything to do with being a pilot for DAL? Since when did ALPA start providing representation for extra-employment related issues?

Juries and judges never find someone "innocent." In the criminal system, you're either found guilty or not guilty. This case (so far) is only a civil case. Civil juries answer questions posed to them in the form of a charge from the judge. For the most part, they only answer yes or no as to whether or not the plaintiff (of defendant as the case may be) proved the elements to their case.

And by the way, the guilty and culpable hire attorneys to defend themselves too. It's their constitutional right.
