Many east pilots supported some sort of legal action to stop the attempts to disrupt communications, vulgar and profane emails and text messages which were targeted at USAPA officers, reps and committee members but were often inadvertently intercepted by family members. I personally read a couple that were sent to F/O's I was working with who served on committees. The alleged mailing of hazmat was never proven, and it has been suggested that the perpetrators could have even been east - nevertheless, the incidents happened during a volatile period and at a fragile stage of the new union. Most east pilots wanted the nonsense to stop.
The RICO surprised many. When the activity ceased but the lawsuit continued, many of us wanted it dropped and communicated the same to our leadership and reps. It went on for too long and caused considerable damage, financial and emotional, to at least a few in the west who were largely innocent.
An apology from Hummel would cost nothing, do nothing to weaken our position on the seniority dispute and demonstrate that he is serious about guiding this pilot group, east and west, through the treacherous waters ahead.
So in response to your post, I supported some sort of action and you know what my rationale was. If you still feel I'm a FCSPOSOTHO then so be it. Should we resume our discussion of the safety aspects of sharing the same cockpit?
The day after the 9th ruled...who do you think targeted and took down the AWAPPA web site with a malicious virus attack? Posters on this thread claimed responibility.
Hummel making an apology might be a start, but usapa owes the West pilot class many millions in dues collected during their failure to represent and downright attack on West membership.
Further, the reason the RICO attack was not continued after being dismissed WITH PREJUDICE in Federal Court, and persued in state courts like usapa promised, is because state courts have anti-SLAP provisions and usapa would have been handed their asses and likely seen some of their officers sent to the big house for their rolls in corupt union politics.....one of the reasons RICO statutes were created in the first place....and BTW....where is Mowery's laptop?
Do I thinks you are a FCPOS????....? You just told me you did not support the RICO persuit, and those individuals are who I called "POS scab of the highest order".
