The ALPA message line came out on Oct 17th that FE had "resigned" on Oct 16, and his son passed away on Nov 17th. According to an article in the Annapolis newspaper, his son started to feel ill on Nov 12th, so I'm inclined to believe that a tragic event happened after FE was told to resign, no conspiracy in my mind.
