Poor kid has dug himself a huge hole. ALPA will have to react to the article, as there are simply too many folks who now know about this.

If this got to the mainstream press, how do you think Eagle management would handle it? Do you want YOUR family flying with someone who at the least has serious maturity/integrity issues, and at worst might be someone off balance mentally?

Next...claiming to be something you aren't in the military can fall under the "Stolen Valor Act". Not an attorney, nor do I play one on TV...but somebody is probably going to at least look at it.

Finally...how smart is it to live in New York, and have a "myspace" account with the "newyorksbravest" as a nickname? We laugh at posers in our profession, but I think some of the FDNY might take things a bit more seriously.

My prediction is this FO is about to have the worst professional week of his life.
