Hello Ms. Natsios and Mr. Young,
I would like to share that I have read more about cryptome and how the website
came to be. I am at ease with having my documents on the cryptome website and
twitter. Several years ago I stopped watching mainstream news and canceled all
of my social media accounts ie fb, linkedIN and twitter. I also do not have a
blog or website.

Canada et al-CIRB FCOA Supreme Court of Canada.pdf
From a personal perspective there are findings at the administrative level that
I continue to find very confusing. As one can see on page 1 of the CIRB's
letter of April 28, 2006 Mr. Suchanek informs that the employer has been added
as a party to the complaint ( which serves to later amend the style of clause
at the FCOA and SCC level). There is something very confusing about this as my
section 37 was a complaint filed against the union. I was bound by provisions
of legislation pertaining to the Canada Labour Code and the duties of the employee.
Also, I have no records in my files that I actually signed an agreement to join
the union (ACPA) when I was hired in February 1998. I certainly was not a card
carrying union member nor have I've ever seen any other pilot with an ACPA
member ID card. I find this quite unsettling because being a union member
prevents an employee of being heard in other venues by Supreme Court of Canada
precedent setting cases (note this is what Justice Darla Wilson and Faye McWatt
referred to at the Civil Court case level.) I have three union cards (two with
CALPA) going back to 1981 and there was a requirement to be a card holder with
those unions.
Another very odd claim comes from the CIRB decision 1444 second paragraph from
the bottom stating:
“He claims that, in June 2004, while securing an aircraft at a boarding ramp
just prior to deplaning passengers, the aircraft rolled backwards.”
I claimed no such thing as no aircraft that I was piloting as crew member ever
experienced a roll back at the gate. I claimed that I talked with a colleague
who experienced an aircraft rollback.
The CIRB finding that I had experienced a rollback incident also appears to
finds its way to the Supreme Court Summary page whereby it states:
“After an incident in June 2004, he advised Air Canada and the Air Canada
Pilots Association (ACPA) of a breach of safe aircraft operations.”
This too is not accurate as my Air Safety Report demonstrates I reported on
December 10, 2003.
It appears the CIRB and SCC have attempted to isolate my Air Safety Report by
making no reference to that being the report that denotes non compliance and
rather focusing on incidents in June 2004 . When one considers the 2005 VP of
Operations letter defending the deplaning of passengers with an engine operating
it appears that there is an attempt here to defend this position by not
referring to it. The procedure is not a normal Ops procedure. Further, the AOM
requires all engines off, brakes set, rotating beacon off and confirmation of
the chutes being disarmed before any of the doors are opened. Perhaps
this position by the CIRB and SCC Summary had something to do with my case not
being accepted at either level.
Also up to a few weeks ago there was a reference to my Federal Court of Appeal
dismissal at this link:
https://www.canlii.org/en/ca/fct/nav/date/2007_02/
There is no longer any reference to my case at the FCOA canlii archives.
I am also attaching a pdf file called:

and Mail emails Derek DeCloet Brent Jang.pdf
I've checked my notes and am able to say that when I met with Mr. Jang on June
23, 2006 he appeared quite nervous and expressed that a story could lead to the
Globe and Mail being sued by my employer. For what it is worth after my meeting
with Mr. Jang I made my way to the CBC and met with a lady by the name of
Gordonna and we spoke for about an hour and my notes were accepted. I also made
my way to the CIRB hoping to see Mr. Suchanek but he was not in.

Canada June July 2006 handwritten notes - page 80.pdf

letters period February 1994 to July 2000.pdf
I am not requesting cryptome to post all/ any of these documents but I do wish
to make the documentation available should cryptome wish to download some or
all of these documents on the website and or cryptome twitter.
I would like to say that working as an airline pilot requires considerable
attention to detail. I find it offensive that official administrations tasked
to oversee federally regulated airline pilot report(s) and industrial
complaints at the Canadian Industrial Relations Board might not afford the same
attention to detail thereby recognizing the effort that went in to submitting
such a report. This comes across as such a huge disservice to the paying
passengers who might benefit from mitigation of such reports.
I also want to acknowledge and credit the USA and NASA's ASRS system as these
reports are published without the reporter's name or employer and such a system
serves to compliment safety oversight. This is where I found the reports that
demonstrate the acars anomaly exists throughout North America at several
airlines.
Once again I thank you both for your interest in what I reported and
experienced.
Sincerely,
Kevin Gauthier
