Bucking Bar

Then get involved and make a difference.

We can not enjoy the unity of brothers who do not wish to be ALPA members. When they step over the line of seeking to harm ALPA and harm other ALPA members, then we have a duty to protect our association and members. It is not about retribution, not at all. We always seek the restoration of members, but, it is ridiculous to have a member who is actively seeking the decertification of the association and trying to create liabilities for which the association and it's membership will be asked to pay.

Those who have left and those who have been expelled have generally wanted back in and been much better members afterwards. I have yet to vote on a membership resolution, except to welcome members back into our union. That member then went on to be a very productive volunteer who helped a lot of other pilots.

You can't be serious Bar. There is a HUGE difference if this was done by someone high up at the ALPA trough. It makes all the difference in the world.

If it turns out to be just joe pilot, that's one thing, if it turns out to be an administration official, a rep, a committee member, a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY.

There is no "acting completely on your own" at that level. It's an institutional problem at that point. ALPA acts through its officials and appointees.

Well said Essential. You really have to jump through quite a few hoops to believe the "explanation" that's been put out.

In fact, believing the tale that's been told requires a lot of faith, while ignoring a lot of facts that just don't make any sense whatsoever.

Can you give some example of federal offenses that a pilot could commit that were "directly related to his employment"? Certainly there are drug/alcohol offenses that may fit into that category, but do you think hacking a fellow pilot's website has ANYTHING TO DO with the purported offender's services to his/her employer?

1. I'd be surprised if they weren't anti-DPA writings. The content doesn't change whether there was criminal hacking or not.

2. Insider or not, if there was criminal hacking they were wrong to do that. If there wasn't criminal hacking it is irrelevant.

3. No.

If you recall, Mr. Private Writings never admitted that his "private writings and thoughts of a personal nature" WERE the actual Anti-DPA rhetoric that mysteriously and coincidentally ended up on the DPA website. Why is that? Why the cryptic "explanation"? It's because the truth would've sounded really bad. I think you're right though, the "private writings" were the anti-DPA rant.

If this indeed was the content, then I believe that fact would be very relevant as to intent.

What potentially makes this a big deal is if this was done by an ALPA insider, i.e. an elected or appointed official. Big difference if it was just a disgruntled line pilot versus a union "leader." And the fact that ALPA attorneys have worked so hard to prevent his identity from being known says to me that it IS a high level ALPA operative. Time will tell.

Your comments are a replay of why O. J. Simpson was supposedly innocent.

Stop with your complete disregard for the truth.

This pilot hacked the DPA website and posted negative communication.

He got caught immediately.

He called Tim Caplinger 3 separate times and offered him money to let it go.

Tim asked him to simply admit in writing what he did and who helped him and he would forgive and forget.

The pilot refused. Why? IMO it was because it would have made DALPA look bad, but that is only my opinion.

Honor is something no man can give you and something no man can take away.

Defending this action and pretending it was an accident is dishonorable and disgusting. You insult all of us with your comments.

THE GLOVE DOESN'T FIT!!!!!!!

Check Essential

The whole key to this kerfuffle is the identity of the hacker.

Is he now or has he ever been a "DALPA guy"?

If the answer is yes --- heads need to roll.

Alan Shore

May one ask why TC has yet to release the evidence of hacking requested by the judge in his lawsuit?

Alan Shore

His point (and mine) was to answer Check Essential, who stated that, if ALPA had nothing to do with this, they should say so.

Please try to keep up.
