Perfect! That should be a new ALPA sticker
In my opinion, it would be the first accurate representation by ALPA in many years !

Default ALPA Notified?

Has someone contacted ALPA to see if they will:

1. Apologize for poor judgment and fact-checking? (Can't wait to see how Prater will spin this one).

And, if all that is posted here bears true:

2. Revoke this guy's ALPA membership

3. Seek certificate action, as the guy is obviously not right.

The thread title is "military poser," but I think "Life Poser" would be more appropo.

Is he THAT stupid?

If true, then a massive "Call to Action" letter writing campaign, directed at ALPA, is in order.

Judging by his willingness to bend the truth?

He probably lied.

That would most likely be what happened. I agree. Who knows WHAT he has lied about. I'm shocked. I mean I know there are a lot of effed up people out there, but I'd like to think that the majority of our colleagues are sane. He's not.

Holy Cow,

The story has been removed off of the pdf portal.. Page 22 has vanished.

I'd love to hear how his local alpa reps are going to spin all of this at his company termination hearing.

If alpa national retracts the story or makes any kind of apology that is not going to help his case...

While alpa may try to sweep this under the rug, I don't think AMR will be so forgiving...not really in their nature.

I wonder if alpa kicks him out, do they still have a duty to represent him during his termination? I suspect they do.
