Tim Martin is the exact type of pilot that our industry does not need. He should be black-balled from our industry for this.

That's what others thought about pilots crossing picket lines, but they were accepted by alpa once dues were paid!
I don't think this tim guy is suspended, he is still on the schedule
Company message as of today stating he has valid certificates....

Whats even more ridiculous about this than the guy's lies are that ALPA wrote a story on him without ever checking out any of it. I'd more embarrassed to have ALPA as a union than this pilot as a fellow coworker.
There will ALWAYS be people who lie and cheat. But there doesn't have to be a union so spineless that they let it happen through ineptitude.

Several years ago at another carrier I interviewed a prospective new hire that (as we found out during the interview process) had gone to jail for running drugs. At the time of his arrest he was also an airline pilot for a major. In addition to jail the time his certificates had been revoked and he had later earned each one back. I asked him how he was able to hold an ATP due to the moral character statement in the FARs. He said that there is another law that supercedes that. It says that if someone has gone to jail for a crime he cannot be restricted from working in his chosen profession. I feel confident that someone who was previously convicted of drug trafficking would have some problems becoming a pilot, however, someone that was a pilot prior to the arrest may have a way back into the ranks. 
Here is an interesting accident report.... Pay particular attention to the PICs history prior to the accident and the toxicological examinations of both the Captain and FO. At least this crew was not conducting passenger operations although that doesn't make this crews actions any less reprehensible.
