Hey Guys and Gals, I've removed the "Mesa Pilot Steals An Ipod".

Consider that this pilot is accused of the crime - which is different than convicted. Also the source of this thread is a newspaper article. Have you guys forgotten how accurate newspaper reporters are? Is it possible that this newspaper failed to include details that we inconvenient or didn't make for an incriminating story?

I'm not an apologist for this behavior and I detest JO as much as the next guy. Also, the last thing we need professionally is a story like this being projected onto every working pilot. Can we please let the judicial system take it's course in this pilots case before we, his peers, convict him.

That said, if he is convicted I'll be the last guy to edit a thread denouncing this behavior.
