New Mailing from Leonidas,llc to USAIRWAYS East Pilots"

[charlie2]

Just checked and the brochure isn't up on cactuspilot.com yet. I'm looking forward to it and I'm not really expecting to see "lies" but I bet I will find some ommissions like in number two. Just like Carl S. many guys I know would bypass upgrade to captain for a widebody FO seat anyday for more time off and better trips but those 500 or so seats were not mentioned in number two.

It does matter. Absent the merger you would either be unemployed or still flying 190's for Mid Atlantic. Now after AWA kept US Airways alive you want to jump ahead of a few thousand west pilots via a lifetime fence. You were lucky to even make it on the list. Be honest and admit this has nothing to do with "integrity" or the "DOH gold standard." You just want what's best for you at the expense of west pilots and in total disregard of an arbitrated agreement. Do you plan on spending your career at LCC? Wonder what it will be like when all your usapa buddies have long since retired...

Nice rebuttal, if you ignore the fact that:

No body ever flew for Mid Atlantic [ask the feds]

They did fly 170's for the 170 division of US Air. [ask the company, or the feds]

The lifetime fence comment is just a response to the "no west pilot will ever go East" drivel.

Wasn't everyone "lucky" to make it to a legacy? Even the Pan Am and Eastern guys thought they were lucky at one point.

Nic or no Nic makes very little difference to someone at Lear's seniority level.

My guess would be yes, the career will be spent at Airways, and life and schedules will get better when his buddies at USAPA have retired, the same as it will for you.

Yea, other than those things that was a really good rebuttal.

No ommisions. Just the truth including several quotes from Cleary & Mowrey. If you would like to have one mailed to you, please PM, and I would be happy to oblige (no jokes or malice, just an offer).

The website will have the electronic version up in a week or so. An open mind is all that we ask for.

Cactusboy53 -

Your fellow Leonidas,LLC directors can "keep an open mind" - when they are being questioned by the Department of Justice investigators as to the personal addresses and more importantly the SS numbers that they acquired. But I know - you don't think it is a big deal - no less a federal violation of numerous federal statutes.


The Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act, enacted by Congress in October 1998 (and codified, in part, at 18 U.S.C. §1028) makes identity theft a federal crime.
Under federal criminal law, identity theft takes place when someone “knowingly transfers, possesses or uses, without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person with the intent to commit, or to aid or abet, or in connection with, any unlawful activity that constitutes a violation of federal law, or that constitutes a felony under any applicable stat or local law.”
Under this definition, a name or Social Security number is considered a “means of identification.” So is a credit card number, cellular telephone electronic serial number, or any other piece of information that may be used alone or in conjunction with other information to identify a specific individual.
Violations of the federal crime are investigated by federal law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Secret Service, the FBI, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the Social Security Administration’s Office of the Inspector General. Federal identity theft cases are prosecuted by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Leonidas update for March 26:

Much concern has been raised about confidential information being used by Leonidas. The company's investigation, and all the USAPA activity surrounding this, stems from the mailing in Oct 2010. Leonidas fully cooperated with that investigation and it was concluded that there was no wrongdoing on our part. On Thursday, the company reopened its investigation and once again, Leonidas will fully cooperate. Mr. Johnson's explanation is: "Although the company's investigation of this matter has been underway for some time, the social security numbers were discovered yesterday for the first time because that information was embedded and hidden in the spreadsheet in a way that was truncated, not labeled and required an unusual excel command for access. Although this is disturbing, the responsible persons at Leonidas have assured us that they did not know this information existed and our preliminary investigation suggests that no one at Leonidas discovered or accessed that information." (Johnson Letter dated March 24th.)

We wish we could say more. However the ongoing investigation precludes additional discussion. Leonidas has absolutely nothing to hide. Our organization was founded on the principles of following the letter of the law - whether it's a binding arbitration or Privacy Act information. It's not the Leonidas principals that have succeeded in fending off DOH, rather it's the organization's adherence to the principle of what is right that has enabled the West to fend off DOH. The West is right to fight for their seniority and as long as USAPA strives to take from the West that which was lawfully awarded to us, Leonidas will be here.

As always, we thank you for your financial support.

Sincerely,

Leonidas LLC

Following the letter of the law. I see having a management pilot access a company database, and copy said information off of company computers and hand it over to a unrelated Third party. Yup...smells like nothing illegal there. Happens everyday.

Hey Ralph, need a mailing list?!?!?! Hold on there. Let me download the employee list for (Ford, GM, Citibank, Walmart, ) and hand it over to you.

Yup happens every day, never a thought of anything.........


Really????

What's a little more disturbing here is. The company claims to have completed an investigation of the release of this file. This was back in Nov/Dec??? And during this investigation the company was not aware that this file contained the SSN #'s, and it wasn't until now that they discovered it contained the information, revealed by an unusual excel command?

Uhmm.. Exactly what kind of investigation did they complete, not knowing what was contained in THEIR file(s) which had gone outside of their control?

Really.....????

 

[charlie2]

I use Excel all the time for my business and there are no "unusual" commands. If you don't know the program they are all "unusual".

 

[Crzipilot]

Maybe the unusual command was. Unhide hidden cells? HAHAHA....Which AOL hid the cells as they weren't using them to create a mailing list? Hmmmm...
