After reading all this and then reading the article, I have to say I was fuming. Amazing the amount of ALPA higher ups he fooled- not to mention no surprise he beat out all the other candidates to have that honor in the magazine. Not hard to win when you have the arrogance to tell everyone what you tell chicks in the bar.

Does anyone know if he was actually on the CJC 3407 investigation, too? He is friends with the CJC MEC chair, so that may be plausible. I can probably fact check on that one...

Aviation is a very small world... doesn't take long for lies to get back around.

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.

I timed out every year at Pinnacle, even with going to upgrade school. 3 years...3000 hours. Doesn't leave much time for anything else when flying that much, though.... I don't think the eagle guys fly that much.

Granted, my F-16 guard job gave me some breaks, as well as the NYFD gave me a good schedule because they liked me so much.

Minstrel: Brave Sir Robin ran away...
Sir Robin: *No!*
Minstrel: bravely ran away away...
Sir Robin: *I didn't!*
Minstrel: When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Sir Robin: *I never did!*
Minstrel: Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, and valiantly, he chickened out.
Sir Robin: *Oh, you liars!*
Minstrel: Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. A brave retreat by brave Sir Robin

Not saying it's impossible, just highly suspect. I don't know any Eagle guys timing out sitting reserve. A couple years ago, I knew guys at ExpressJet and Mesaba who worked their rear-ends off to time out...but not every year for 3 years, and unless you trained on different equipment, your upgrade wouldn't be nearly as long as Timmy's Saab-to-Embraer...

but, hey, my hat's off to you for killing-it every year @ Pinnacle...that must have sucked!

You got to have options in life. Here are a few for Timmy...

French Foreign Legion - - La Légion étrangère recrute

New York Name Change Forms - Legal forms for changing your name in new york

Maybe he could "out" a few of his buddies and try this:

U.S. Marshals Service, Witness Security Program
