AE could also do nothing as a slap at ALPA, after all, "Tim is ALPA". What management wouldn't like to keep a trophy of ALPA's black eye?
If ALPA proceeded with Article XIII charges, it's as lengthy a process as any courtroom trial - then comes the appeals. During this time ALPA retains the DFR.
Point is, ALPA members will be paying for this, literally, in the short term and figuratively for much longer.
Someone smarter than me, (I know...not hard to find one of those), pointed out yet another irregularity that could spell an end to this jackass' career-
)He was hired by A.E. on 10/30/06 with 506 hours (guess he forgot to count his Viper time, as so many fighter pilots do)
)Has 3,490 total per FAA records...
...so he's gotten almost 3,000 hours in just over 3 years...with 2 training cycles where you get very little stick-time for a couple months at a pop?!!
Little Timmy's been fudging times, eh? Maybe flight instructing on the side while sitting reserve? Oh...forgot, he isn't a CFI.
