</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I, Daniel W. Hanley, being first duly sworn, on oath, states as follows:</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">1. I am of legal age and competent. This affidavit is made on my personal knowledge of all matters set forth and referenced herein. If sworn and called as a witness in this case, I could, and I would, testify competently as to each fact set forth and incorporated herein by reference.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">2. The alleged facts supported with evidence are true and correct to the best of my personal knowledge of the facts, evidence, information and belief.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">3. I am of information and belief that I was terminated from active employment in a medically grounded status as a United Airlines B-777 Captain on December 30, 2003 directly as a result of submission of federally-mandated Flight Safety Awareness Reports under the auspices of the Aviation Safety Awareness Program (ASAP) outlined in the United Airlines Flight Operations Manual (FOM), which is intrinsically a legal part by Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 121, Operating Requirements: Domestic, Flag, and Supplemental Operations.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">4. I am in possession of physical evidence that supports allegations of this criminal activity, which includes witness testimony, letters and emails, copies of filed reports, medical and psychological reports, and other information pertaining to this matter.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">5. I am of information and belief that commencing in 2002, after numerous phone calls, emails, letters, and face-to-face conversations with both United management and Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) officials, (the union that represents United pilots), as well as the persistent stonewalling of filed internal federal company reports addressing critical safety matters, that potential illegal ambiguities existed in the normally afforded federal communicative processes for reporting said issues, which existed prior to 9/11.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">6. I am of information and belief that prior to 9/11, United Airlines maintained an open-door communications policy that enabled any employee to address areas of concern to any level manager within the company. Because my previously addressed safety issues were not addressed and I was informed by an ALPA MEC safety official during a phone conversation in early 2003 that upper-level management considered me a "big-mouth whistle blower" and wanted me to "go away", I forwarded an advance copy of a July 23, 2003 letter to ALPA attorneys in Chicago for review of legal content, that I intended to mail to United CEO Glenn Tilton addressing my safety concerns regarding the stifling of federal reports by management. Additionally, in the letter, I had expressed concern that perhaps the financial pressures exerted with the airline in Chapter 11 bankruptcy might somehow be thwarting union efforts to legally safeguard reporting pilot?s efforts.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">7. On July 27, 2003, I received a joint phone call from a United ALPA attorney and ALPA Grievance Committee Chairman in Chicago advising me that they had read my proposed letter to CEO Tilton, agreed that the content of the letter did not violate United Airlines company policy or the ALPA Code of Ethics, but recommended that I not send the letter. When I queried their reason(s), the United ALPA Grievance Committee Chairman stated, “Go ahead and send that letter in if you never want to fly another United aircraft again in your life”. I was then further advised that United Airlines management would somehow remove me from scheduled flight operations as a pilot on professional, medical, psychological, or other grounds, as they had observed done with other pilots in the past. When I further questioned the ALPA attorney how far into this process I could expect ALPA legal representation, he responded by saying “not very far”.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">8. On August 18, 2003, I received a phone call from my New York ALPA Council representative informing me that he had been directed by ALPA legal to send me an email letter response through his ALPA National Herndon, Va email address that would automatically illicit a receipt that I had opened the letter. He went on to tell me that he understood and agreed with what I was doing, but to "watch it, Dan…these guys are nasty". When I queried him as to whom "these guys" were, he told me he couldn't say. I had previously been advised by this individual through another captain associate of mine that "if you take this thing to the next level, you're going to get hurt". I then advised my council representative that if I had to, sometime in the future I would file suit against ALPA just to get him on a witness stand under oath to testify as to who "these guys" were, to which he responded by saying "you get me on that stand and I'll give you names, places, and dates".</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">9. From the outset, and throughout this process, I did not desire to bring these matters to public light through outside legal action that might draw public and media attention, as United Airlines was financially compromised in bankruptcy court, and I didn't want to potentially jeopardize the jobs of the hundred thousand United Airline employees by doing so. Since all previously filed reports, letters, and emails sent were strictly internal within the company, and because I still desired to address these issues, a decision was reached by me on September 14, 2003 to file a series of federal ASAP reports addressing the same concerns as those outlined in the letter to CEO Tilton with the intent of drawing the United Airlines FAA Principle Operations Inspector (POI) into the communications loop to address my concerns. Additional reports were sent through September 18th as well.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">10. On September 19, 2003 I called the United ALPA Central Air Safety Vice-Chairman who had served on the Event Review Committee (ERC) that reviewed my reports, which is comprised of three members, one each from United management, ALPA, and the FAA POI, to inquire specifically as to the POI's, response to my allegations that previously submitted federal reports had been stonewalled by upper-level United Airlines management. He informed me that the POI expressed concern and wanted to respond, pending further investigation into the matter.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">11. On September 30, 2003, I received a call from my JFK Assistant Chief Pilot advising me that I had been removed from scheduled flight operations by upper-level United Airlines management because of the reports submitted and that I would be required to fly to New York to meet with him before I would be permitted to fly again. When I reminding him that the issues addressed within the reports were concerns that I had expressed numerous times face-to-face and on the phone with both him and my Chief Pilot, he told me that he had orders from above. Additionally, I suggested that the integrity of the ASAP program had been violated in that reports submitted supposedly guaranteed anonymity and impunity, both of which had been compromised, he gave me a direct order. I explained that since an ALPA attorney had already advised me that ALPA would not follow me in on this "very far", for me to legally protect my career, my personal attorney would be required in attendance of any scheduled meeting and the transcripts recorded for my protection, to which he refused. I was informed that a conference call was currently underway between a management captain at the United Airlines Training<br />
Center in Denver, United Airlines attorneys in Chicago, United Airlines Human Resource personnel, and the JFK Flight office concerning my filed reports.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">12. Subsequent to this, through September and into October, numerous phone calls were made by me to United Airline management, an ALPA attorney in Chicago, my union representatives, and others trying to draw a compromise without bringing these issues to public light, while still protecting my legal interests and career, to no avail. I was insistent that I be represented by my own legal counsel at proposed meetings, which was denied on all counts.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">13. Digressing momentarily, because I had been forewarned early on by ALPA captain associates that the typical process employed by management to remove "dissident" pilots was through dismissal via the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) on psychological or other grounds, wherein the pilot lost his medical certification required to fly aircraft, early in 2003, I employed the assistance of competent mental health professionals in the Atlanta area to confirm soundness of my mental health through consultation and testing, which I have continued through today for that very reason. On one occasion during this time frame, after I was removed from schedule, I was invited by both United Airlines management and ALPA personnel to fly to New York to visit their mental health professionals, wherein I would be grounded for "psychological reasons", but I politely declined this invitation, for reasons stated above. It was not my goal or desire to seek a medical grounding, but to address the issues contained in my ASAP reports.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">14. At some later point in time, I received a phone call from my JFK Chief Pilot who informed me that Dr. Gary Kohn, United Airlines Chief Flight Surgeon, had seen him face-to-face at the Denver Flight Training Center and ordered him to “put that (expletive deleted) on sick list”. This was done without warrant or my having had a medical evaluation by any member of the United Airlines medical team. When my Chief Pilot queried as to the justification for this action, he was informed that it came from higher up in management. Having known him for years, my Chief Pilot apologized saying that "my hands are tied on this one, Dan".</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">15. Running out of sick leave, with nowhere else to turn within the organization for legal assistance or compromise, on October 6, 2003, I called my JFK Chief Pilot to inquire as to my options at this point in time. He suggested that I submit to EAP, as it was endorsed by the FAA, would protect my career, and guarantee future income. Because I had already consulted mental health professionals and because I had done nothing wrong (quite to the contrary, I believed that what I was doing was the right thing for an airline pilot to do), I agreed to submit to this program and file an FAA Whistle Blower Protection Report at a later date with the evidence I possessed of alleged criminal wrongdoing. My Chief Pilot kept repeatedly insisting that it was the "right thing to do" (by submitting to EAP). It should be emphasized that I was informed in this phone conversation that program participation obliged me to comply with any request made by company EAP or medical professionals for continuance in the program to guarantee future income.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">16. On October 7, 2003, I was given a first-class positive space ticket from Atlanta, my home domicile, to Chicago O'Hare and reported to a United EAP representative Mary Ann Sheppard at the O'Hare Medical Department. During this visit, Dr. McGuffen, the United Flight Surgeon at O'Hare, interviewed me in the presence of the EAP representative, the O'Hare Chief Pilot, and an ALPA EAP representative. I advised him of the sequence of events that led me to his office and that I had already been apprised by others that EAP was a method of expulsion of pilots. I also informed him that I had been previously consulting with mental health professionals in the Atlanta area and offered to let him speak with one of them on the phone, which he did. Afterwards, Dr. McGuffen asked me if I would be willing to travel to a mental health facility of their choosing for a psychological examination, which I agreed to do because of the advisement of cooperation by my Chief Pilot the previous day. The O'Hare Chief Pilot and ALPA EAP representative then drove me to Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital in Hoffman Estates, Illinois for said evaluation. On the drive there, I apprised both of these captains of the details of my legal dilemma and advised them of my intent to file an FAA Whistle Blower Protection report with the FAA the next day. After checking in at the facility, we were ushered to a conference room where I consulted with a psychologist, a Catholic nun, in the presence of the two other pilots. She advised me that it would be necessary for me to consult with a psychiatrist but, because it was late in the day, I would have to wait till the first thing in the morning. She told me that arrangements could be made for my stay in the facility with the promise of an early morning meeting, to which I mistakenly agreed to do as discussed below. I was directed to a second floor check-in desk where all my personal belongings were locked in a safe and I was given a room with another individual who was paranoid-schizophrenic. I did not realize at the time of check-in, that once one admits oneself to such a facility, the state has the legal right to retain you for up to five days. I was also told to check to ensure that no one was hiding beneath my bed or in my bathroom before going to bed, as women patients in the coed wing might attempt to sexually molest me during the night. When I insisted that I be permitted to lock my door, the request was denied since orderlies had to check on patients during the night. Unbeknownst to me, sometime during the afternoon, my children were informed that their father was interned at a mental health facility in Chicago. Additionally, my wife, who is still an active United Airlines flight attendant, had just arrived at her London layover hotel and was immediately returned to Chicago via New York with advisement that "something has happened to Dan" and that I was in a mental facility in Chicago. In the evening, I was ordered to report to the dispensary, as the facility wanted to provide me with sleep medication, which I wanted to refuse, as I was exhausted already from an already long day, but they insisted. I should point out that I was very calm and rational throughout the day, in spite of trying circumstances. I discovered the next day that the medication that I was given was Adavan.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">17. Very early in the morning of October 8, 2003, I was discovered unconscious on the floor of my room with medical attendants surrounding me, with my blood pressure at 60 over 40 and the side of my face very swollen from a fall. I had gotten up to use the bathroom and had passed out on the floor from the medication. The next morning they rushed me to medical where an extensive physical examination was performed. Subsequently, I was required to attend and participate in group therapy sessions with extremely psychotic patients and dine with them as well. My wife arrived that afternoon and I apprised her of the situation and told her that I needed to consult with the psychiatrist to cover myself legally, while complying with EAP requirements. I had also attempted to console my children, but the stigmatized damage was already done. Their dad was in a mental institution in Chicago. That afternoon, I met with both a psychologist and a psychiatrist in my room and was asked to spend one more night for additional consultation, to which I reluctantly agreed, but refused any medication that night.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">18. Very early in the morning of October 9th, because I could not sleep due to the loud snoring of my roommate, I left my room to read a book at a couch under the light at the end of the hall. I was approached by a well-dressed African-American gentleman who did not identify himself, but knew my name and why I was interned. Initially, I assumed that he was a physician, as he wore a very nice suit, but did not understand why he came down to talk to me. During our brief conversation he said to me, "C'mon Dan, why don't you just drop what you've been doing?". I informed him that I believed what I had done was appropriate pilot behavior and he left. Later in the morning, after our group therapy session, I met once again with the Dr. Mohinder Chadha, MD, and attempted to explicitly detail the events that led me to her facility, but since she was not familiar with the complexities of the aviation safety issues that I was addressing such as ASAPs, she could not fully comprehend my current legal dilemma. In the end, she consented to release me with her own clinical diagnosis and an agreement that I would consult with my<br />
Atlanta mental health professionals, which I did. That evening, I reunited with my wife at a Chicago hotel and was advised that she had been in contact with a United ALPA attorney who had given her the name and phone number of Dr. Donald Hudson, the ALPA Aeromedical Advisor, whose office was located in Denver.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">19. On October 13th, my wife and I flew to Denver to pay a surprise visit to the office of Dr. Hudson. During our one hour consultation, I apprised him of the details of my situation, but surmised that he had already been briefed by ALPA legal in Chicago. I told him that by submitting ASAPs, I was fulfilling my obligation as a captain and that I felt that my previously submitted reports had been stonewalled by upper-level management. He responded by saying "we don't do business that way anymore", to which I replied “I do”. He told me that ALPA was awaiting the clinical diagnosis from the Alexian Behavioral Health Hospital psychiatrist and that he would be in touch with me and FAA medical personnel for administrative disposition of my case. Purely speculative on my part, but I surmised at this point in time that the legal and political skids had already been greased and hence, would have to legally fight this battle at another time, on another day via an FAA Whistle Blower Protection report once United Airlines emerged from bankruptcy.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">20. On November 4, 2003, I received a phone call from my JFK Chief Pilot advising me that he was receiving much pressure from upper-level United Airlines management in administratively discharging me through "medical grounding" with insistence that I proceed with the administrative requirements for doing so.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">21. After much phone call deliberation with both company and union management personnel, on November 11, 2003 I paid a visit to my Atlanta psychiatrist wherein I accepted his clinical diagnosis and prescriptive medication, which in no way denigrates the validity of my previous claims or actions as an airline pilot. Unbeknownst to me at the time, the medication prescribed grounded me for life as a pilot, which I did not discover until later. In accordance with contractual provisions and company policy, I filed for short-term medical disability.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">22. On December 22, 2003, I called Dr. Bernie Weiss, the JFK Flight Surgeon to question the status of my letter application for short-term disability and was advised that upper-level management had already informed him that my long-term disability had already been approved. When I attempted to discuss details of my termination, he advised me that he was merely following company directives, and did not discuss the issues any further.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">23. On December 30, 2003, I was placed in a permanently medically grounded status, thus ending a thirty-five year career in both Naval and commercial aviation, as a result of attempting to be honest in the reporting of safety issues.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">24. On April 6, 2006, shortly after United Airlines emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, I filed an electronic FAA Whistle Blower Protection Report alleging criminality as stated above. Additionally, I wrote to then Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta the same. To date, I have not received a response from the Department of Transportation or the Federal Aviation Administration.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">25. On November 8, 2006 at 8 pm, in a phone conversation with the former United ALPA Grievance Committee Chairman included in the phone conversation of July 27, 2003, it was admitted to me that I had, in fact, been "railroaded" off the property at United Airlines.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">26. I am of information and belief that there are other airline pilots whose careers have met the same demise on similar issues regarding the reporting of unsafe conditions in the commercial aviation arena via ASAP reports or other means. The current absence of ASAP programs by unions at both UsAir and American Airlines as a result of<br />
recriminations against reporting pilots in some instances, smacks of similar, although less harsh, recriminations imposed on myself and my family.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">27. I am of opinion and belief that there exists other retired ALPA airline pilots who have either observed or participated in the above described process of "elimination" of active line pilots, and who would be willing to provide witness testimony in this matter.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">28. I seek no financial restitution, compensatory damage claims, or restoration to my pilot job at United Airlines in providing the aforementioned horror story. It my hope that by divulging the details of this horrific event in my aviation career, it will somehow preclude any other airline industry pilot from ever having to endure the same for himself or his family, and pray for the restitution of honor, dignity, and respect of commercial airline pilots as safety professionals within the industry with the added hope that political and financial pressures will never be brought to bear, which denigrates safety in the future.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">29. My involvement in these matters has created much disharmony within my loving family. We are shouldering this cross with our faith and trust in God, our political leaders, justice system, law enforcement agencies, and our Constitutional rights of freedom of speech.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">First, please allow me to congratulate all of you and your staff members on your tremendous success and the welcomed triumph of our party in the recent congressional midterm elections. My trust and faith in government and the election process has been restored. However, certain aspects of the GOP culture of corruption survived the election and must be expeditiously exposed and removed from political power, if we, as a nation are to restore our once-enviable and prestigious position in the global political/economic arena. With a Democratic-controlled Congress, I am highly confident that you will be the leaders that forge the way in this direction.</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">On a much more personal note, my parents and the Catholic nuns and priests who taught me tried to instill in me a deep sense of honesty, fairness, and compassion for my fellow human beings on this planet. In this regard, I believe they were somewhat successful, as my embracement of these virtues has placed me in my current legal/political dilemma. Unfortunately, my schooling in Civics 101 did not include such issues as PAC money, extortion, bribes, deceit, illegal collusion, and mob assassination contracts, all of which we have sadly observed within the GOP culture-of-corruption the past several years.</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">I have included a copy of a letter that I recently sent to Congressman Henry Waxman. For Senator Durbin and Senator Obama, since criminal allegations made within this correspondence implicate the Seventh Circuit Court system and also one of the largest employers in your state, United Airlines, I felt both compelled and obliged to at least provide you with a courtesy “heads up” on these serious legal matters.</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">I personally am not an idealist; I recognize our current legal and political system are both far from being perfect, but I also know that I should not have had to put my family or myself through what has tragically transpired the past few years since 9/11. Nor should a respectable Chicago businessman, Mr. Michael Lynch, be forced to have 24-hour/day armed bodyguards to protect his family and himself while holed up in his Lake Forest, Illinois home because there is a mob contract out on him. His family has received death threats as well. And why? All because he has been honestly and actively attempting to help restore some semblance of “Civics 101” in this country by exposing illegal governmental collusion, extortion, bribery and a potentially corrupt judiciary. Somewhere along the line our entire system has been derailed and collectively, we are ALL to blame for passively allowing our system of checks and balances to degenerate to this pathetic level.</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Additionally, I have included a joint letter that I had mailed to the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Transportation in April 2006. There was no meaningful action on their part. There have been many agencies and news outlets the past several years that have ignored my plea to hear the cry of airline employees and other industry workers with regard to meaningful pension legislation and other issues. Our petitions have gone unheeded…till now.</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">A few nights ago, Mr. Lynch and myself had the good fortune of an interested and sympathetic ear at CBS News. We have both told our stories and presented meaningful legal evidence to substantiate our claims. We are both very optimistic with regard to federal grand jury potentiality in this matter. We want the truth told and justice served in an honest system of government. Additionally, tens-of-thousands of airline industry and other workers have circulated nationwide the letters that had been previously sent to both the cabinet members and Congressman Waxman. Our army of concerned workers and retirees is growing by the hour as is evidenced by email responses we are receiving from every corner of the country and even distant countries abroad. Our collective voice will be heard; our story will be told; the truth will be exposed; justice will be served. We need your help in this matter.</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Gentlemen, as you well know, there are 40-million workers in this country who are covered by over 30,000 defined–benefit pension plans, all of which are in jeopardy in the current legal/political scheme of things. The recent pension legislation passed into law is not worth the paper it is written on, but was endorsed by the GOP rubber-stamp Congress for obvious reasons. There are much broader issues and concerns here than just the McCook Metals and United Airlines ‘forced’ bankruptcies that resulted in the distress-termination of employee pensions and the gutting of labor contracts. There is an overlying immoral stench that permeates throughout this entire travesty of justice and must be corrected. You three distinguished gentlemen have the power to effect the necessary changes in legislation to help vaporize the stench.</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Here is our heartfelt plea; kindly do not allow it to once again fall on deaf ears. After a review of the enclosed correspondence and your subsequent staff investigation into these matters, and consultation with your distinguished colleagues in the Senate, would you kindly give just consideration to a full Congressional inquiry into these matters in the name of all that is good and honest in our government and representative of the pristine dream our forefathers envisioned before we began this death-spiral into our existing culture of corruption. </span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">Your consideration of our plight is greatly appreciated by many honest and hard-working American citizens. I will patiently await your response.</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

Additionally, only $1.3-billion of the federally-guaranteed loans authorized by the $10-billion dollar Airline Transportation Stabilization Board (ATSB) loan program was let, in part, because applications filed by air carriers failed to include a provision for the distress-termination of defined-benefit pension plans.

The judicial system is broke. I <i>was</i> an airline pilot so I can guarantee you that I am clueless as to how to restore some semblance of U.S. government that citizens once, perhaps delusionally, imagined existed to represent the interest of its’ citizens. I am seeking neither reputation nor remuneration, only truth and justice; I shouldn’t even have to take your time to write you.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tragically, in light of these facts, I feel that I can no longer place my faith and trust in the federal judiciary to seek the truth and serve justice on white-collar criminal activity surrounding airline bankruptcies. I am a patriot exercising my freedom of speech and right to representation while demanding a fair and impartial justice system. The only legal and political recourse in these matters would be the referral of possible criminal issues to a House investigation hopefully leading to a full Senate hearing.

</div><h1 style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">SUBJ: WHISTLE BLOWING UNITED PILOTS’ ASSOCIATION</span></b></span></h1><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">Gentlemen,</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">I shouldn’t have to waste our time writing this letter to you, but I chose to do so out of courtesy and desperation. I am a 57-year old, medically disabled United Airlines B-777 Captain who attempted to whistle blow on security frailties and possible criminal wrongdoing in the post-9/11 flight environment. I contend that I was gagged and was medically grounded directly as a result of my honest actions.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">It is my assertion that possibly federal aviation laws and RICO statutes (attempted union-busting) were violated in this stifling process. I have witnesses available who would willingly provide sworn testimony, as well as supporting evidence in the form of incriminating correspondence, reports, and digitally recorded phone conversations between myself and United Airlines and the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) management to back my claims of federal criminal wrongdoings.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">It is herein that I openly state my honest intent to provide this and other evidence currently being amassed by the subject association to a federal prosecutor for further investigation by federal authorities. I believe that you will all agree that failure to act on our part would be a crime in, and of, itself.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-weight: normal;">Currently, within the active employee and retiree ranks of United Airlines (and the other major airlines), there is a legal, collusive attempt by an army of dedicated employees (independent of any union) to funnel critical pieces of legal evidence to appropriate legal channels and the media for analysis and publication.</span></span></b><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">To date, I personally have recently submitted (electronically) a report of these matters to the Federal Aviation Administration via the FAA Whistle Blower Protection Program and am awaiting a response. Additionally, I have forwarded the same information to the Atlanta office of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for their perusal. Hopefully, we will be able to legally press forward with class-action litigation on behalf of all airline employees nationwide. </span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">Finally, my situation has drawn the attention the U.S. print media, attorneys, and other concerned politicians. We didn’t make this a political issue, Bush did. His game, we’re just playing along with his game… by our legal rules. </span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">I have tried in vain for several years since 9/11 to keep these matters out of the public domain. I no longer care; the information is already out there. I personally feel that there are other airline employees in the system that have similarly been gagged and have a story to tell. We need a legal outlet and subpoena power. We’re going to get it.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">There has been <u>absolutely NO White House support</u> for the commercial airline employees since 9/11 other than Bush photo-opping in between United and American jets at O’Hare shortly after that horrific event trying to convince the traveling public to climb back onboard airplanes because the “system is safe”. The mythical post-9/11 ATSB loan guarantees were carrots dangled before employees of financially distressed (unionized) air carriers in a blatant ploy by this administration, in collusion with the banks and airline management, to extract massive wage and contract concessions from employees and ultimately drive carriers into Chapter 11 bankruptcy where unions had no leverage thereby enabling the distress-termination of defined-benefit pension plans. It was (and still is) union busting through what appears to be the collusive efforts of the White House, financial institutions, and airline management. There are federal laws that preclude this type of activity and we intend to prove in a federal court of law that they were violated.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">There was $10-billion in ATSB loan guarantees authorized under the post-9/11 program. Only $1.2-billion was let. Any ideas here… anyone?</span><span style="color: red;"> </span> </span></span></b></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">In essence, these unlawful, immoral acts bailed the airline industry out on the financial backs of the very honest, hard working, and courageous aircrew members (who willingly climbed back onboard jets in the unsafe post-9/11 flight environment) and other airline employees. These acts against workers were unconscionable and the truth must be brought to public attention by any and all means available. It shall.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">Many aircrew members agree that the U.S. commercial airline security system, under the Department of Homeland Security, is grossly under funded and a farce; it’s mainly used as window dressing to keep the system going. For security reasons, I will not address the obvious. The illegal Iraq invasion increased the security threat to U.S. commercial jet aircraft. (The only reasonable alternative explanation for our careless and reckless ignorance of blatant security frailties is if 9/11 didn’t really go down as the American public was made to believe, but I’m not a proponent of conspiracy theories, so I’ll dismiss this spooky, politically motivated notion).</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">President Bush, Karl Rove, and the GOP have publicly announced that they are collectively going to embrace ‘security’ as the cornerstone of the GOP political platform in the upcoming midterm congressional elections. In light of the aforementioned sorry state of aviation security systems, this political ploy would be laughable if it weren’t so damned pathetic! Since the events of 9/11 have been wrongfully and immorally employed for political and financial advantage by this White House and the GOP in bankruptcy court to destroy unionism, contracts, and pensions, there are many airline employees who intend to preclude this administration from using ‘security’ as a political reelection issue. Your boss may have played politics with other peoples’ lives with this issue in the past…not this time. </span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">After Enron, you will all agree that we ALL deplore white-collar criminal activity. Our association (The Whistle Blowing United Pilots’ Assn) feels very strongly that the criminal activity of Enron pales in comparison to what may have occurred criminally within the post-9/11 airline industry. We aim to prove criminal activity occurred through the illegal collusive efforts of many, and we WILL, with or without the assistance of the Departments of Justice, Transportation, and/or Homeland Security. </span></b></span></div><div class="MsoFooter" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">As was exemplified by the legal proceedings of Enron, Jack Abramoff, Randy Cunningham, Tom DeLay, and others, the powers of subpoena and plea-bargaining brings forth those weak, characterless, disloyal individuals who helped perpetrate these crimes. Our association intends to rout out the spineless government and corporate weasels that stooped so low as to exploit 9/11 for political and financial gain. With truth and justice on our side, we will be successful. Won’t you join us in our honest crusade?</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">You are hereby advised of our plight and our efforts. If DOJ, DOT, and DHS are disinterested in our investigation, that is acceptable, although not understandable, to us. However, you must be forewarned, we will be successful in discovering the truth and serving justice and then will be calling on your good offices to explain your apathetic behavior towards our just and noble cause.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;"></span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

Wedoff, Chief Judge of the US Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District, ordered him to be taken into custody, handcuffed, and escorted by a swarm of federal marshals to a forced 341 examination. Mr. Lynch was at no time read his rights in gross violation of law. </span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>According to Lynch, before being taken into custody, Mr. Lynch clarified on the record that Judge Wedoff was committing an act of coercion under duress by directly addressing the chief bankruptcy judge with the question, if he left the building, then he would be picked up by federal marshals and forced to sit for the interrogation? Judge Wedoff answered, “Yes.”</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lynch claims Judge Wedoff’s actions in alleged violation of law and in gross violation of Mr. Lynch’s basic civil rights under the color of law are alleged retaliation for Mr. Lynch’s uncovering Judge Wedoff’s alleged participation in judicial corruption. Lynch claims that on July 20, 2006, an attorney from the law firm Winston & Strawn representing Alcoa, the past major competitor of McCook Metals in the aluminum industry, was improperly allowed to attend Mr. Lynch’s forced 341 examination despite Alcoa being a defendant in a civil RICO action pending in the Tenth Circuit US Court of Appeals in Kansas. Lynch claims evidence indicates that Alcoa allegedly is now in ownership of McCook assets despite Wedoff-appointed trustee, Joseph Baldi, accepting the bid from Pechiney, a French competitor whose bid for McCook was 80% lower than Lynch’s bid to regain his company.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lynch claims that said attorney from the law firm of Winston & Strawn representing Alcoa is apparently Federal Appellate Judge William Bauer’s niece. Despite the apparent conflict of interest, Judge Bauer has issued rulings against Mr. Lynch in his case before the Seventh Circuit appellate court. Lynch also claims that Judge Bauer is allegedly misusing his official position to protect Alcoa.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lynch and his legal team have uncovered an alleged conspiracy by Alcoa and the financing giant, General Electric, (GECC) to defraud the US taxpayer by raising the prices for the US military’s acquisition of aluminum for military jets. Lynch claims alleged pre-bankruptcy evidence indicates that allegedly Alcoa and GECC conspired with Judge Wedoff to force McCook Metals into bankruptcy in August 2001 and wrest control of the company from Lynch.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>According to Lynch, since April 2006, when an alleged $40 million “judicial bribery fund” was discovered by an expert fraud investigator contracted by the organization, Independent Federal Fund Oversight Committee (IFFOC), Mr. Lynch has been amassing material evidence of alleged judicial, attorney, and trustee wrongdoing which is being immediately funneled to civil and criminal authorities with whom Mr. Lynch is fully cooperating.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>On July 20, 2006, before ordering federal marshals to handcuff Mr. Lynch, Judge Wedoff reprimanded Lynch asserting that Lynch had been making false statements about Judge Wedoff’s financial affairs. However, on court record on March 2nd, 2006, the following exchange took place. Mr. David Price, President of IFFOC, who is investigating Judge Wedoff’s financial affairs involving his prior law firm, Jenner & Block, stated, “You asked me to identify myself, and I’m saying we found some inconsistencies in this case, including you, Your Honor, accepting residuals from Jenner & Block that not only give the appearance of conflict, but a direct conflict of interest.” Judge Wedoff made no response, did not deny the allegation, and immediately left the courtroom according to court transcripts claims Lynch. Jenner & Block represented Pechiney in the McCook Metals Case and General Electric in the United Airlines case, which is also under scrutiny according to Lynch.</b></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Witnesses to the events of July 20, 2006 have revealed that federal marshals did not know if Mr. Lynch would remain in custody after he was escorted into the interrogation room. Two marshals entered an adjacent room in which Judge Wedoff was waiting behind the door in an apparent agitated state as evidenced by his pacing, hand wringing, and facial expression claims witness Dr. Shelia Mannix. When questioned after exiting the room with Judge Wedoff, a federal marshal confirmed that Mr. Lynch was free to go after the completion of the 341 examination.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Further, since the uncovering of the alleged bribery fund, Mr. Lynch has chosen to lawfully pursue federal actions against state and federal court agents for alleged wrongdoing that resulted in the collapse of Lynch’s McCook Metals in August 2001 and subsequent improper corporate and personal bankruptcy proceedings.

</div><div class="MsoSalutation"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I will not compromise aviation safety and security to ensure the financial survival of United Airlines.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoSalutation"><br />
</div><div class="MsoSalutation"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">United Airlines is currently conducting unsafe flight operations. The employee morale is lower than I have observed in any organization I have ever served. Chronic lethargy is running rampant. It is readily transparent that company survival concerns have taken precedence over employee issues and aviation safety and security matters. </span></b></span></div><div class="MsoSalutation"><br />
</div><div class="MsoSalutation"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">From my experience in the past 22 months since 9/11/01, the safety communications processes established within the company and the union has either broken down or has been stifled at some level at every turn. The ALPA, my supposed safety and security buffer and communications link in the work environment, has either been threatened or gagged.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoSalutation"><br />
</div><div class="MsoSalutation"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> Consequently, this organization has not addressed obvious security issues because the government and the industry do not want to “waste” the money on such “trivial” matters because their very own survival is at stake.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoSalutation"><br />
</div><div class="SubjectLine"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I have appended enclosure (1) for your perusal. I am a patient man and have been so for the past 22 months. I do not believe in using intimidation, coercion, extortion, deceit, manipulation, or exploitation to achieve my goals and objectives. We both know these managerial styles are devoid of all leadership principles exhibited by the truly great leaders in humankind and personify the pinnacle of moral depravity.</span></b></span></div><div class="SubjectLine"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">There are currently individuals in key managerial positions, both within United Airlines and the ALPA, who have yet to demonstrate the moral strength and courage (for whatever reason), to address the critical safety and security issues that we face. I perceive that they are selfishly directing all energies toward company survival without due regard to safety. This effort, although perhaps a capitalistic noble one, is <span style="color: red;">diametrically in opposition to the ALPA Code of Ethics and every precept of safety this industry was built on</span> and forces each pilot to compromise his professional integrity and aviation safety.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoBodyText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I cannot, in good conscience, allow this process to continue.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">This correspondence is sent directly to you to serve notice that I intend to resubmit reports via appropriate communications channels to address safety and security concerns that are obvious to you and others in positions of influence and power in the company and the union.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoBodyText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I am charged with legal and moral responsibility of the safe carriage of passengers in commercial jet aircraft. This company is being driven by the corporate goals of the Marketing and Finance departments. This is understandable since United Airlines is a commercial enterprise in bankruptcy. Unfortunately, their goals and priorities conflict with, and have taken precedence over, most precepts of aviation safety. The Flight Operations department has taken a back seat in perilous times and no one is speaking up on behalf of the pilot group. Why indeed? </span></b></span></div><div class="MsoBodyText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">If the Marketing and Finance departments are driving our corporate objectives, then it appears they are clueless and unconcerned about aviation safety and security and their efforts must be redirected by whatever means available. Apparent concerns are not being addressed and necessary departments are not apprised because personnel somewhere are not doing their jobs or have devious designs for revenue enhancement.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">It appears that the government and airline industry executives have determined, for financial reasons, that it is necessary to dismantle unions or otherwise render them powerless thereby diluting the effectiveness of my critical safety communications link in my job and the contractual safety provisions while operating in a high-threat, terrorist environment. </span></b></span></div><div class="MsoBodyText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Concurrently, they continue to ignore costly security measures necessary to ensure safe carriage of passengers. My real concern about my union is that they are guilty only of complicity under duress in this devious scheme; a scam that can be proven in a Federal court of law and would be very damaging to all concerned parties. If this is the case, it cannot be allowed to continue. I am prepared to act and will do so.</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoBodyText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">As an aviation safety professional, performing my legal duties under the moral auspices of the ALPA Code of Ethics, if immediate response and redirection is not taken by responsible parties, I will be offered no other recourse but to seek remedy and relief by any and all available and appropriate means outside of United Airlines and the ALPA, but within the legal limits of the law. You and I do not want or need these awkward safety/financial issues to be pulled into the court of public opinion. I feel so very strongly about these matters that I am willing to risk my career and my pension and benefits to achieve my objectives, and am able to do so, if necessary. </span></b></span></div><div class="MsoBodyText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Peoples’ lives are at stake.

Therefore, we recommend that you contact the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Safety Hotline via telephone at 1-800-255-1111, option #2 and request a copy of your whistleblower complaint number "WB0658."

Six months ago, I was advised by Mr. Scott Harding of this office that response would be forthcoming within 30 days, but sometimes take as long as 180 days to investigate. It has now been over 180 days since filing that report, and over 43 months since my original report filing, and I am still awaiting a response.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

Additionally, allegations of methods of suppression of honest pilots who speak out in the name of passenger safety, but are ushered off the property at their airline through employment of ‘hostile workplace environment forced medical and psychiatric evaluations’ were addressed, as this sometimes results in the pilot loss of his medical certification, which is a federal requirement to fly commercial jet aircraft.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

I am a U.S. citizen who has been living in Islamabad since November 2009 entering the country on a multiple-entry visa that contains a provision of a maximum stay per visit of one year. I was married in a private civil religious service in Islamabad last year to Pakistan citizen <a href="http://www.pakistan-orphans.org/">Huma Hashmi-Hanley</a> who previously served as an anchorwoman/compere for PTV and DAWN News for many years and we have two children by her previous marriage under our roof.</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">On November 18, 2006, an association joint letter was sent to Senators Reid, Durbin, and Obama petitioning their political help in investigating alleged white-collar criminal activity associated with the United Airlines bankruptcy.<span> </span>Although not a resident of Illinois, my purpose in writing merely served as the voice of the subject association. </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The <i>Whistleblowing United Pilots Association </i>is somewhat of a misnomer in that it is an independent grassroots coalition of all airline employees and retirees from every airline across the nation whose purpose is to help discover the truth and serve justice on the white-collar criminals who perpetrated the crimes, which enabled the demise of post-9/11 airline employees and retirees in bankruptcy.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">On May 4, 2007 you responded in writing that, since I was not a resident of the state of Illinois and hence, not one of Senator Obama’s constituents, that ‘Congressional courtesy dictates that the current federal senators and representatives be afforded the opportunity to respond to their constituents of the districts from which they were elected’.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">On May 1, 2007, as one of his constituents, I received a personal letter from Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) offering political assistance in the investigation into my personal issue with the Federal Aviation Administration as to why previously submitted federally mandated reports had been stonewalled.<span> </span>Since the concerns and scope of the subject association extended far beyond my personal issues, and since previous attempts to address these issues with federal law enforcement officials had been ignored, it was felt unnecessary to pursue my issue with the help of Senator Chambliss at the time for the reasons stated herein.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Previously, on November 20, 2006, an association <a href="http://airline-whistleblower.blogspot.com/2011/05/letter-to-district-attorney-patrick-j.html">letter had been written to District Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald</a> petitioning his office to investigate the available evidence surrounding said potential criminal activity in the United Airlines/McCook Metals bankruptcies.<span> </span>On December 11, 2006, a letter was received from his office with advisement that the office of Chicago FBI Director Robert Grant be contacted if there was any direct evidence of violations of federal law.<span> </span>At the time, it was known that former Chairman and CEO of McCook Metals LLC Michael Lynch had previously briefed both Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr.Grant on the evidence at hand, but needed federal witness protection for his informants in this case.<span> </span>This evidence and witness testimony is directly related to criminal activity in the United bankruptcy.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">During this same time frame, with the congressional mid-term election results elevating key Democrats to key committee chair positions, association letters were sent to relevant chairmen addressing these very issues. Realizing that the Democratic party had the first 100-hour agenda and other pressing matters such as the firing of District Attorneys to deal with as well as a back log of other committee oversight issues to address (due to virtually no congressional oversight by the previous GOP-controlled committees), we patiently watched in hopes that eventually our association concerns would be addressed as well.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">On April 1, 2007, an association letter was written to <a href="http://airline-whistleblower.blogspot.com/2011/05/letter-to-district-attorney-patrick-j.html">Chicago FBI Director Robert Grant</a> inquiring as to why an investigation into the United/McCook bankruptcies had been suspended given the evidence/witnesses at hand.<span> </span>Additionally, it was suggested that perhaps top-level personnel within the Department of Justice were exerting undue pressure on District Attorneys in cases involving highly-sensitive political issues.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">On May 16, 2007, a letter was received from the U.S. Department of Justice-FBI office advising that the letters had been received by the FBI Public Corruption Office (an administrative arm of the FBI) and had been forwarded to the FBI Atlanta field office.<span> </span>The Atlanta field offices never responded. </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">As a result of testimony by fired District Attorneys during the AG Gonzales hearings, it was surmised that undue political influence may have been exerted through key Department of Justice personnel on the actions of District Attorneys, so on September 1, 2007, an association letter was written to Assistant Attorney General Alice Fisher-DOJ Criminal Division inquiring as to why federal witness protection and immunity from prosecution had not been afforded to informants in this case.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In early September, additional evidence surfaced that was uncovered by another grassroots organization, which supported allegations surrounding criminal activity in the United Airlines bankruptcy and was reported upon by <a href="http://www.fool.com/investing/value/2007/10/10/uniteds-flights-of-financial-fancy.aspx">two articles appearing</a> on The Motley Fool website as authored by reporter Rich Duprey. This<span> </span>additional evidence implicitly suggests possible White House collusion, fraudulent accounting practices, securities fraud, nondisclosure of certain financial assets during the bankruptcy, fraudulent government loan application processes, a government appointee which involves a conflict of interest, and questionably legal agreements between United Airlines and the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation in the distress-termination of defined-benefit employee pensions. </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">On October 10, 2007, a letter was received from U.S. Representative Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA) advising me that a local staff member in Georgia was contacting the U.S. Department of Justice regarding the September 1<sup>st</sup> letter to Asst AG Alice Fisher.<span> </span>As Mr. Lynch, his investigative team, others, and myself recognized certain unnamed legal and political forces being brought to bear upon us in other arenas, drastic measures had to be taken to protect ourselves and families, our evidence, and witnesses in an attempt to bring matters to legal and political light.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">On October 18, 2007, I invoked the rights, privileges, and protections under the <a href="http://airline-whistleblower.blogspot.com/p/sec-affidavit-of-captain-daniel-hanley.html">Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002</a> in declaring myself a federal whistleblower on behalf of the employees and retirees of United Airlines.<span> </span>On October 19, letters were written on behalf of the subject association to the relevant congressional committee chairmen Senators Kennedy and Leahy and Congressmen Waxman, Conyers, and Miller advising them of the same while petitioning their committees to commence a congressional investigation into these matters.<span> </span>We are presently awaiting a response from their committee office staff.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Although I fully understand that since I personally am not a constituent of Senator Obama, he is a Democratic front runner for the office of President and currently represents his constituency in the state of Illinois.<span> </span>Since United Airlines, as one of the largest employers in the state has tens-of-thousands of employees who may have been illegally disenfranchised during the post-9/11 bankruptcy process, and since the Seventh Circuit Court system falls within their domains of influence and authority, it is hoped that both Senators Obama and Durbin will exercise such due authority and responsibility in vigorously supporting a prompt investigation into these criminal allegations.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The United States still has laws and law enforcement agencies, a criminal justice system, and a system of checks and balances governed in accordance with precepts established by our Constitution.<span> </span>The tax-paying citizens of this country demand that potential dysfunction of any branch of government be corrected by appropriate congressional oversight committee investigations and hearings.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">There exists evidence, which suggests criminal activity that has yet to be investigated by the Department of Justice and other branches of government for whatever reasons.<span> </span>The employees and retirees of United Airlines want to know why this has not yet occurred.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Your cooperation and assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated by the many Illinois United Airlines workers and retirees, as well as the many other global members of the United family.<span> </span>We are merely being citizen-patriots attempting to uphold our Constitutional rights as citizens who pay taxes in demand of a fair and honest system of government.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">The Whistleblowing United Pilots Association is a national grassroots coalition comprised of employees and retirees from all airlines whose purpose is to help discover the truth regarding alleged white-collar criminality associated with post-9/11 airline bankruptcies and serve justice on the criminals who perpetrated these crimes.<span> </span>I serve as a public spokesperson for this group.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">With your vision of hope and promise for change, which includes a greater openness in government, exposure of government fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption, including the untoward influence of K-Street lobbyist and Wall Street financial pressures, excessive executive compensation, and white-collar criminality, whose exposure is further enhanced through the strengthening of whistle blower protection laws, suffice it to say that you have the full support and cooperation of our association in achieving those lofty objectives in the future.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">With the surfacing of significant additional federal criminal evidence, petition was been made to numerous branches of government, including relevant congressional committees and the Department of Justice, for political and legal intercession during this same time frame to no avail.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">On October 22, 2007, an unsolicited letter was received from Senator Chambliss acknowledging his awareness of criminal evidence associated with the United Airlines bankruptcy and his assurances that he would respond to me upon receipt of an answer to his Department of Justice inquiry, which he had recently made.<span> </span>But just 15 days later, on November 5, 2007, he sent me a letter advising that, “…as a U.S. Senator, have no jurisdiction over matters such as these.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Because these matters had been stonewalled for so long by so many levels and branches of government including the Department of Justice, on October 18, 2007, I concurrently filed for whistle blower protection under the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with letters of petition to Senator Carl Levin and Securities and Exchange Commissioner Christopher Cox. <span> </span>In subsequent discussions with Senator Levin’s staff, I was advised that the issues could not be investigated due to staff shortages and committee focus on the overabundance of higher priority issues.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

David Kotz, the Security and Exchange Commission Inspector General, expressing my frustration and dismay over the lengthy delay of an appropriate SEC response, given that sufficient information, which included my sworn affidavit and other information, had been provided to warrant a preliminary investigation. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Given your recent elevation to the Oval Office with present jurisdiction over these departments of government, and in light of your proclamations concerning openness of government and diminishment of corruption in both the civil and federal sector, our association members are highly confident of your assurance of extensive investigations into these matters by the Inspector General of each department, and stand ready to fully support and cooperate with them in the future.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

You will note that my name/association appear as signatory toward the bottom of this document. It is because of my personal past abuse as a whistle blower on numerous counts, as well as the thousands of other unheard informants, that I strongly support passage of this legislation, as do members of the Whistleblowing United Pilots Association.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><b><span style="color: black;">Proof? <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Mounds of it, but there is presently no legal or political forum available to bring their facts or, for that matter, the facts of our Whistleblowing Airline Employees Association information, as well as Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Scientist for 9/11 Truth and countless other grassroots organizations information to public light.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #cc0000; margin: 0px;"><br />

Additionally, he informed me that he had been coordinating his efforts with the white-collar criminal division of DOJ, the FBI, and other organizations and law enforcement officials.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Based on this information, in November, 2006 I wrote District Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and numerous politicians imploring legal and political intercession in these grave matters given the compelling evidence and testimony that had been produced by Mr. Lynch and his team.

I realize that Mr. Fitzgerald’s office is limited in staff and that the Scooter Libby trial has taken precedent in his case load, but it does arouse one’s curiosity as to who in DOJ would suspend a criminal investigation into legal matters that involve the loss of pension benefits and other union contractual provisions surrounding a victim-airline of 9/11 in bankruptcy given the compelling evidence at hand.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Since shortly after 9/11, I have been stonewalled at all levels of federal government for attempting to help expose possible federal criminal wrongdoing associated with the United Airlines bankruptcy. In the fall of 2005, through the collusion of many airline employees from all airlines across the nation, a grassroots coalition of honest and concerned airline employees and others was developed whose purpose has been to help discover the truth and serve appropriate justice on those white-collar criminals who perpetrated crimes associated with post-9/11 airline bankruptcies. The name of this organization is the <i>Whistleblowing United Pilots Association.</i></span></span></b></div><div class="MsoFooter" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Kindly review the attached correspondence. There exists very strong material evidence and witness testimony, which supports allegations of judicial corruption and other white-collar criminal activity associated with the United Airlines/McCook Metals LLC bankruptcies. As you know, the United Airlines bankruptcy and the subsequent distress-termination of employee pensions were the largest in U.S. history. As a result of these proceedings, billions of dollars of employee pension obligations were handed over to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC) and hence, onto the backs of the American taxpayers. Besides alleged defrauding of the U.S. taxpayer, the evidence and testimony mentioned above also supports allegations of criminal acts that possibly violate RICO statutes.</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">On April 12, 2006, I wrote Attorney General Alberto Gonzales petitioning his good office to join us in our noble crusade. (see attached) On July 3, 2006, I received a written reply from DOJ Gerald A. Toner, Assistant Chief for Labor-Management, Racketeering Organized Crime and Racketeering Section wherein he suggested that I bring related evidence of criminal activity to the nearest FBI office.</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">In July 2006, I had a chance encounter with Mr. Michael Lynch, former Chairman of McCook Metals LLC, who presented compelling evidence to others and me that supported our claims. Rather than reiterate our subsequent actions, kindly review the attached letters to District Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald dated November 20, 2006 and FBI Chicago Director Robert Grant dated April 1, 2007. Our concerns were ultimately stonewalled in a letter dated May 16, 2007 from the <i>administrative arm</i> <i>of the FBI Public Corruption Unit who</i> <i>did</i> <i>not even bother reviewing the material that was forwarded to them by FBI Chicago</i>.<u> </u></span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">After almost six years of federal law abidance as a whistleblower, I am frustrated as are members of the subject association, <i>but we will never give up</i>, nor will those operating in concert with our group. Very strong evidence and witness testimony, which supports serious breeches of federal law involving the bankruptcy and pension termination of 9/11 victim United Airlines has been suppressed. This is the ultimate stonewall and cannot be tolerated. </span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">The Department of Justice needs to explain to airline employees nationwide the reason(s) they have disallowed witness protection for criminal informants in this case. Additionally, since DOJ establishes priorities for cases in accordance with presidential directives, it would appear to a casual observer that justice has turned a blind eye in the case of the United/McCook bankruptcies. Kindly explain this oversight to us; as American citizens and taxpayers, we deserve and demand an explanation. </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Bethlehem Steel, UsAir, United, Delta, Northwest, Delphi…who’s next? The truth will eventually be told, justice served, and the court of public opinion shall judge as to who operated in the noblest manner in accordance with the precepts established by the Constitution of the United States. We still do have some semblance of a constitutional government; judicial corruption is a serious breech of public trust.</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Since the federal government (and in particular the Department of Justice) has failed miserably in supporting our noble cause and since the past six years of a GOP-controlled rubber-stamp Congress has failed to exercise the requisite judicial oversight authority in these matters, we have petitioned the good offices of Senators Leahy and Schumer as well as Congressman Conyers to intercede on our behalf. We are highly confident that their honesty and fairness in dealing with these issues will bring the truth to public light.</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

Please be advised that part of the <i>Whistleblowing United Pilots Assn</i> organization consists of a telescoping email network that provides the widest email dissemination to all airline employees nationwide in addition to other industries’ employee workforce who are concerned with regard to potential loss of defined-benefit pension plans.

In response, this office sent me the attached letter dated May 16, 2007 advising me to contact the Atlanta FBI field office with evidence that I might possess, which supported the alleged white-collar federal criminality alluded to in my April 1st letter to your office. (Exhibits G and J) Since I knew that your office had already been briefed on these matters, and since most of the criminal informants that required federal witness protection resided in the Chicago area, I chose not to visit the Atlanta FBI office (among other political reasons at the time).</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

(Exhibit K) On October 10th, I received an unsolicited offer of support from my home state Congressman Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA) to politically intercede on my behalf with the Department of Justice. (Exhibit N) Concurrently, on October 22, I received a similar letter from my home state Senator Saxby Chambliss. (Exhibit O) Then, just two weeks later, I received a letter response from Senator Chambliss advising me that he had <u>no jurisdiction in this matter</u>.

Toner, Assistant Chief for Labor-Management Racketeering, Organized Crime and Racketeering Section, in which he forwarded me a copy of a letter sent to Congressman Westmoreland from Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Keeney dated December 5th.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">Because the December 5th letter from Mr. Keeney apparently skirted many of the issues addressed in the September letter to Ms. Fisher, a letter response was sent on February 10th to his office inquiring as to why these issues had not been addressed in his letter to me. (Exhibit X) I am presently awaiting a response from him.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">On February 14, I phone contacted the office of the FBI in Chicago and filed a federal complaint with Agent David Barusko, who was on duty at the intake unit desk. (Complaint # 2008-9580) During our conversation, I outlined the nature of the complaint, while explaining the requirement for witness protection of criminal informants. He advised me that determination of physical risks to informants was made at the upper level departments of DOJ based on evidence and testimony provided due to the costs involved in providing federal marshals. Agent Barusko went on to explain that it was a 'Catch-22' situation because no protection is afforded during the time frame in which DOJ is evaluating the case.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">Agent Barusko suggested that perhaps others and myself would feel more secure meeting with agents at an undisclosed location of our choosing, which he intimated could be arranged in advance. He also offered to transfer my file over to the white-collar criminal division where I could further discuss arrangements with the agent assigned to my case. I advised him that I needed to speak with my attorneys as well as others involved in the case, and that I would merely be reiterating what I had just stated to him, when I was uncertain whether to move forward without further legal consultation.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">Because of the current disarray observed at the Department of Justice, many citizens are wary of certain federal law enforcement processes at present. To a certain degree, I share these same sentiments and consequently feel that others and myself need protection, both legally and physically to move forward with a meeting. Since the issues involved are most sensitive and involve huge sums of money, as they are directly related to the United Airlines bankruptcy, the largest of such in history, I am challenged to feel secure in the above stated arrangement without the establishment of preconditions for a meeting.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">Due to the sensitivity of the issues involved, coupled with the financially powerful and sinister forces and institutions that might be implicated in this case, since the government will not necessarily protect informants, the citizens must reserve the right to self-protection while attempting to uphold federal law in support of the U.S. Constitution. Freedom of speech is our right; upholding federal laws is part of our civic responsibility; failure to report an observed federal crime is a dereliction of our patriotic duty as citizens, what's more, it's against the law. </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

Some of these same individuals have started their own businesses with the intent of resigning from their airline jobs at their earliest convenience, admitting that the continued harassment and intimidation, poor morale, working, and pay conditions, coupled with the instability within the industry no longer make the pilot job and extensive family separation attractive to them.</b></span></div><div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><br />

Contrary to what some might imagine, it does count just how many times a pilot walks down the jet way in their career with regard to airline safety issues. Degradation of morale amongst cockpit and cabin crew as a result of extraneous pressures serves as a distraction and degradation to issues of safety. Anyone who has ever occupied either seat of a commercial jet aircraft realize this, while others with no line experience as a pilot cannot conceive of this being the case.</b></span></div><div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><br />

Unless current federal aviation regulations are amended to reflect a change in this regard, appropriate and immediate redress by some agency of the federal government is immediately imperative.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Dear Interior Minister Malik,</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>I am writing to your good office today in petition for your consideration of granting me political asylum in the great nation of Pakistan for the reasons stated below. I am a U.S. citizen who has been living in Islamabad since November 2009 entering the country on a multiple-entry visa that contains a provision of a maximum stay per visit of one year. I was married in a private civil religious service in Islamabad last year to Pakistan citizen<a href="http://www.pakistan-orphans.org/" style="color: #0094ff; text-decoration: none;">Huma Hashmi-Hanley</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>who previously served as an anchorwoman/compere for PTV and DAWN News for many years and we have two children by her previous marriage under our roof.</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Huma and I have agreed to not to accept one single rupee for ourselves as a contribution to those who are less fortunate might receive food, shelter, and clothing. For these and other reasons, I petition you to assist us so that we may remain living together as a family for the betterment of Pakistan citizens.</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>A few weeks ago, I had drafted a letter to your office applying for dual U.S./Pakistan citizenship, but as the political situation has intensified, I perhaps feel this to be an exercise in futility at the present time. It is hopeful by me and my family that you waive the provision on my multiple-entry visa that requires that I depart Pakistan once per year, as I fear that my departure through immigration may preclude my return to my family should the political situation worsen sometime in the future, never mind the added travel expenses incurred in exiting and hopefully returning to Pakistan.</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<br />
<br />
According to the summary,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span>the bill sets out a comprehensive policy for the detention, interrogation and trial of suspected enemy belligerents who are believed to have engaged in hostilities against the United States by requiring these individuals to be held in military custody, interrogated for their intelligence value and not provided with a Miranda warning.<br />
<br />
(<i>There is no distinction between U.S. persons--visa holders or citizens--and non-U.S. persons.</i>)<i><br />
</i><br />
It would require these "belligerents" to be coded as "high-value detainee[s]" to be held in military custody and interrogated for their intelligence value by a High-Value Detainee Interrogation Team established by the president. (<i>The H.I.G., of course, was established to bring a sophisticated interrogation capacity to the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i>federal<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>justice system.</i>)<i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i><br />

<span></span><br />
<span>The bill asks the President to determine criteria for designating an individual as a "high-value detainee" if he/she: (1) poses a threat of an attack on civilians or civilian facilities within the U.S. or U.S. facilities abroad; (2) poses a threat to U.S. military personnel or U.S. military facilities; (3) potential intelligence value; (4) is a member of al Qaeda or a terrorist group affiliated with al Qaeda or (5) such other matters as the President considers appropriate. The President must submit the regulations and guidance to the appropriate committees of Congress no later than 60 days after enactment.</span><span></span><br />
<br />
<span>To the extent possible, the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Team must make a preliminary determination whether the detainee is an unprivileged enemy belligerent within 48 hours of taking detainee into custody.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />

Re: “SEC IG looks into United Airlines bankruptcy,” Nov. 24<br />
<br />
For three years, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice have refused to investigate material evidence of a nationwide criminal racket that has allegedly infiltrated state and federal courts and is unlawfully manipulating and exploiting litigants in bankruptcy, family and probate courts. <br />
<br />
According to court documents filed in Chicago, the FBI and DOJ turned a blind eye to retaliation against citizens who attempted to expose the corruption, including “kidnapping of children, false incarceration after being ‘framed’ by criminal elements in civil and criminal authorities, impoverishment, coercion under duress, and serious physical injury up to and including death.”<br />
<br />
The 2006 affidavit claims that “multiple judges and lawyers are aware of and/or involved in alleged criminal acts,” but have not reported wrongdoing to authorities in violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct. It specifically mentions four federal judges, including Eugene R. Wedoff, who was appointed chief bankruptcy judge of the Northern District of Illinois in 1986. <br />
<br />
Judge Wedoff presided over the 2005 bankruptcy of United Airlines, in which 20 large unsecured creditors lost nearly $18 million. The airline also defaulted on $3.2 billion worth of pension obligations for over 134,000 United employees –the largest pension default in three decades – while its top executives walked off with millions in exit bonuses. <br />
<br />
Dan Hanley, public spokesperson the Whistleblowing Airline Employees Association (www.airline-whistleblowers.org) and a former United 777 captain who was forced out of his job, alleges that United management fraudulently withheld information from the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, which took over their pensions, and that PBGC never conducted the federally mandated analysis of the United pension fund before agreeing to its termination. The Securities and Exchange Commission has recently agreed to look into the matter.<br />
<br />
The court affadavit also accuses Wedoff, who recently suffered a mysterious fractured skull, and other allegedly crooked judges of squirreling away $40 million in bribes at LaSalle National Bank in Chicago, Wells Fargo and Northern Trust Bank in Arizona. The affadavit further claims that payoffs to Wedoff eventually wound up in the ERW Living Trust, which purchased Lot 114 of Greenfield Place in Maricopa County, Arizona. The signature of ERW trustee “Richard E. Williams” is allegedly identical to Judge Wedoff’s.<br />
<br />
The affidavit further charges that the criminal racketeering enterprise headquartered in Phoenix hacked into INSLAW, a court software program, and “through the systematic code-based creation of fraudulent documents and identity theft,” illegally hijacked it to funnel stolen private and government funds into two trusts – Omega and Anchor Pure Trusts – which ultimately dispersed the hot cash into personal trusts such as ERW, which then used fake mortgages for property that had already been bought with cash to further launder the money.<br />
<br />
“Multiple lawyers of prominent law firms are allegedly members” of the racket, which uses phony federal marshal credentials to gain access to the Federal Court Building in Chicago, according to the affidavit. <br />
<br />
Another signed affidavit, filed by court qualified document examiner Sidney Perceful, accused Wedoff of allowing a bankruptcy trustee to confiscate and destroy records and transfer “large sums of money” to his account at La Salle, which she called “highly irregular and illegal.”<br />
<br />
These allegations, if true, point to a massive criminal infiltration of the federal court system. But so far, neither the FBI nor DOJ have bothered to look into them. The big unanswered question is: Why not? </b></span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273354037957216017.post-20965624587121138692011-05-21T10:24:00.001-04:002011-05-21T10:26:42.228-04:00Letter to Atlanta SEC and FBI!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

Contained therein, the relator Michael W. Lynch provided evidence discovered in April 2006 that an alleged $39-million bribery fund was being used to secure outcomes in court cases including the shift of unfunded pension obligations of McCook Metals to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC) at the expense of U.S. taxpayers despite the obligation of Alcoa Aluminum financed by General Electric, pursuant to Alcoa’s acquisition of Reynolds Metals, under ERISA law. </span></b></div><div align="left" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;"><br />
