So Whiteford said "Here ya go" and signed off on the E170 while getting NOTHING in return. Criminal.
I was gone (retired) by the time this happened, but . . . . . .

Criminal? Not in the legal sense, IMO.

Stupid is as stupid does? Oh yeah.

IMO what is really terrible is that the MEC did not immediately recall him.
