We simply have to defend against the methodology of that nonsense. That's not even a defense of the idiots who cheat the SC system. Its a defense of all of us and of the process in general. Whats next, a sick call assault where they data dump years of "big data" in your lap and say "now prove you really were sick?"
Even if every single guy accused in this little creative sting operation is 100% guilty, this methodology of going after them cannot be allowed to stand.
I admire your passion in defense of fellow Pilots and agree 100% that they get the presumption of innocence and also paid for and deserve a robust defense. The problem here is that the facts are not really in dispute, even DALPA say this, and I have heard that at least one of them admitted being out of position.
Now that the union has released a statement on this your CPO will probably be willing to talk about it. In any case I am done discussing this since it is still ongoing. Not really worth arguing about while its still being adjudicated - eventually we will get the straight scoop.
