Were you on property when this took place?
Its telling you refer to the mec chairs behavior as an 'issue'......when he was engaged in tax fraud.
And in the next breath convict a group of pilots most of who were paying state taxes...and some of who were paying higher state tax rates than GA because thats what they understood was appropriate under RLA.
The fact dalpa failed to integrate training in the pwa was in large part responsible. And Delta was culpable in failing to begin state witholding when they transfered line pilots from 030 to 052 which altered status under rla.
Delta coughed up personal information to GA as a cooperative 'witness' on all instructors. My guess is they cut a deal to avoid penalty.
And as happens now...agreed to withold in future from ANY pilot who spends enough time in training to possibly trigger tax liability.
