Toothe is still here. I'm flying with him this trip.
As far as the test, I heard someone had a copy of the systems test, which is not open book. If that was the case, I can see why they were let go.

The one that was not fired just denied everything, so they didn't fire him. Everyone else was honest, because they weren't cheating. PSA needed to get rid of people, and instead of furloughing, after cancelling two capatain upgrades, and new hire classes for the rest of the year, they fired these guys.

All of which I agree. It's a bit weird, but this is the reason they used. Now, Shaun found the test in the bag, it's kind of hard admitting you weren't cheating with it in your bag.
However, you said the one that denied everything wasen't fired, but the other ones that spoke the truth and denied they were cheating were fired? Either it was a typo, our that's confusing.

I've heard different variations of the story from several sources, including a couple of the guys in the class at the airport. Who is Shaun? It seems they obtained the study guide, or "cheat sheet" from one student, who won't exactly release where he got it from, so either another student, or a ground instructor.
It's all a load of crap in the end. Most of them will go to Eagle now, and probably still have jobs in a year.

I got the story from TA. Shaun was the instructor who found the test. It will be hard, even though they resigned rather then face termination, the PRIA will show it when the PRIA request is submitted.
They could always lie, but the other background stuff will catch it.
Good luck to em, they will need it.

Yea, but aren't the CBT test's timed? Rather than looking for the stuff in the open book, someone had the answers rather then sitting there looking for the stuff. Just had to come back and move the mouse to keep the timer running.
