That's close but I think it was the MEC chairman and he was not in the training department. He lived in FL but was working in ATL. That lead the state to start looking for other Delta pilots performing more then 50% of their work in GA. The training department was a gold mine for them.
It's rumored the company paid the state taxes for a bunch of guys or the training department would have shut down.
