That is what fills this story with irony. He forms UPA to oust ALPA and yet ALPA brings him in as grievance cmmte member after UPA dies. He throws a temper tantrum, is arrested and sent to jail. It isn't ALPA that bails him out out of the pokie. It is then DEN chief pilot. He could easily have left him there for ALPA to ride in on the unicorn and rescue him.
Appears he is getting paid what he bids to sit home each month while this plays out. So where is the hardship?
Reminds me of the Capt Smith that stopped in MIA to put the FA off. Have known him for years and he is certifiable. He got paid the entire time he was off and came back. Word on the street in FRA last week was that he has gotten himself into trouble again.
