If this is true, could his input have prejudiced the accident report results ? I suspect the major news organizations will pick up this story in the next few days and "run with it."

There were three (3) ALPA pilots involved in the accident scene investigation.....he was not one of them. I can assure you, despite all Mr. Martins outlandish claims.....he had ZERO influence on the 3407 field investigation.

I'm no lawyer, but if he was straight with the company for his interview and background check, I think his company would have a hard time firing him for spinning tales on his own time. Heck, they'll probably give him a medal for making ALPA look stupid in a very public way.
If this is the case, his union reps better defend him to the nth degree, or they'll get their butts sued off.

Wouldn't apply if he just told some chick in a bar that he was a fighter pilot, but in a case like this the guy is obviously taking it to self-destructive extremes...that should raise medical concerns IMO.

LMAO!! This thread is hilarous. The lying about being a military pilot...wow...that should land him in some hot water.
On a different note, I am a Navy Seal special ops soldier when I'm not flying. Two nights ago I infiltrated an enemy strong hold, and using my heartbeat sensor, SCAR-H, One man Army, Cold blooded pro and Ninja pro, I successfully eliminated the enemy threat, with 33 kills and only 2 deaths.
Modern Warfare 2 rocks!!
