The whole thing is disgusting. I pray that his chief pilot is ex-military or if not that, at the very least, his check airmen for his next pc. This guy will get whats coming to him. You dont steal the honor that people have died for to earn.

Don't forget about this cast of characters:
Code of Ethics Role Model
Nominated by F/O Ray Nicoll (Delta), F/O Martins was selected from an excellent field of pilots recommended by their peers.
Making the selection, with the concurrence of the EGL Master Executive Council, were Capt. Chuck Hogeman (United), chairman, ALPA Human Factors and Training Group; Capt. John Rosenberg (Delta), chairman, ALPA Professional Standards Committee; and Capt. John Sluys (Alaska), chairman, ALPA Professional Development Group.

" . . . . participated in the field investigation of the Colgan Air Flight 3407 crash near Buffalo, N.Y., in February 2009. Martins spent 10 days at the Colgan field investigation."
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."

if this chap ever upgrades (oh wait, his facebook probably said he is an ex Pam Am 74 skipper) i guess that puts to rest the "of good moral character" requirement for an ATP.....
