Believe its a moot point now. Think he plead guilty this June/July in some type of plea deal to avoid jail time.

Don't know the details, but if he was fired before he was convicted or plead guilty, that could have been the reason

No such thing in my books, he's innocent until proven guilty. We only saw snippets of a video. ..but even if we saw more I'd still consider it to be irrelevant.
We fly airplanes for a living. Other people are judges for a living. I leave it to them and to the jury to decide if his actions were "distasteful" or not.

IPA has a duty to represent any pilot terminated from employment, process is driven by the Railway Labor Act. Specifically as written in the collective bargaining agreement. Termination process has many steps, some are timely, thus to protect the pilot, the process is followed often to the arbitrator if that is the wish of the pilot. Ultimately, this protects each line pilot by ensuring the company will not attempt to terminate pilots without a specific cause and justification that stands the scrutiny of the entire RLA/CBA process and IPA representation.
Would argue that IPA representation has been very effective since its inception.
