I really don't know anything about Maestro, so how was the system being abused and or manipulated?

The criticism is solely for what has happened so far.
Taking steps to eliminate potential loopholes should be treated as a management function. To punish those who take advantage of vulnerabilities is really stupid from a security standpoint, which emphasizes the "us vs them" mentality that cripples the US daily operation. It tends to silence potential whistleblowers.
Besides. What took the "managers" so long to figure it out? Perhaps they were taking advantage of the system in a similar manner, until someone blew the whistle? Perhaps US should have a full investigation?
What planet are you living on? What has happened so far is that people got caught with misuse of company assets. Try opening up your little employee guidebook, it is spelled out.
Punishing those who did so is really stupid? What do you think due process for them should be? Maybe some little golden keyboard reward for being clever? This is so not about security or crippling the US daily operation. It is about the "buddy" system that was in place with a touch of , we can beat the system and since we can we will, meglomania thrown in.
Last paragraph is truly a desperate attempt to divert attention. Management, scheduling or IT derive absolutely no benefit by Trip XYZ going from F/A Jones to F/A Brown outside of normal functions. That assertion is inane.
And if you want another viewpoint of how disappointing and distastful this whole little chapter is....ask any pilot what they think should be done to someone who messes with the scheduling system for their advantage.

Could someone please explain what is/was going on!
