PHX, I remembered you having an issue with you name being abbreviated and took the liberty of perpetuating that indignity. I find it laughable that you would take such umbrage to a change in you screen name.

Is that how you identify with others?  LMAO.

And how is it you think I endorse McKee when I went through all the effort of putting together a new avatar?

Well its now obvious.  You are not a pilot.  Twice now you have been completely oblivious to sarcasm regarding my screen name, but I enjoy how I have exclusive use of that screen name, and selected it far before you you even knew you would pursue me with such affections.

Yours Truly, Boo Boo

It has been determined that the recently stolen laptop that belonged to USAPAs VP contained a roster of our pilot group that had personal information on it.

This file was not password protected!

With USAPAs obvious concern for our personal information, I am wondering when we will be offered a credit protection service.

Everyone needs to.contact their reps ASAP.

Interesting sidebar - USAPAs Security Committee reviewed 34 days of tape that included  the day of the theft and found nothing out of the ordinary.

Numerous issues with this topic.

1.  Saw Eric at work last week in uniform, 30 day suspension complete, requal training starts this week I think.  West pilots donations made up for the three's lost pay, and I think they are just going to drop the whole issue.

2.  usapa is in possesion of,, for sure West pilot's social security numbers, and likely all pilot's SS numbers.  The pilot info given to AOL was likely the exact same list given to usapa, and that is how usapa knew the SS numbers were part of the info.  Being criminally inept at union duties does not keep them from blowing their own cover.  Also, why has the company failed to give a 30 day suspension to whoever leaked the pilots SS numbers to usapa?

3.  If Seeham wants to push it, can an IP address of a particular computer be determined through sales info??  If so, I would say Mowery is in deeeeeeeeeeepppp doodoo, and too stupid to have his boots on.

Sorry PHX, I thought you'd be more concerned with this breach. I wonder why USAPA is sweeping this under the rug?

Why would anyone sweep identity theft and company data under anything? It is a much more profitable outcome if the thief reveals his/her identity, then receives the standard 6 months paid leave from USAirways Franke management. With no penalty whatsoever.  The caveat is the thieves must be western division to qualify.

When you say "western division", do you mean the division that owns the airline?

I'm no tech geek but I don't believe so.  The IP address (internet provider internet address) depends on the provider.  Take your laptop to an internet cafe in Paris (France) and there would be a different IP address.  In fact, if you've got cable or DSL internet, most of those providers use dynamic address assignment - if you're inactive for a certain period of time your connection ends until you use the connection again, at which time the provider will assign your computer (smartphone, whatever) a new address.

What can be done (probably need a court order) is to get the internet provider's records and see if a given computer was connected to that IP at a given time.  In Seeham's case, he had the email headers which can be used to track the email back to at least an IP and possibly a specific account with that IP.
