Claims Data He Sent To Flyers Rights Was Public
An accused whistler-blower who says
he was fired for revealing critical information regarding airline
passenger safety the Flyers' Rights coalition has joined forces
with the volunteer organization.
Dr. Frederick J. Foreman, former Senior Analyst for Metron
Aviation Inc. (an aviation consulting company with numerous
government contracts), MIT graduate, and former professor at
Florida A&M and Florida State Universities, was terminated from
his job on September 25th of this year after contacting Kate Hanni
regarding excessive surface delays. Foreman maintains that any
information he sent Hanni was public data he collected from the
Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and the FAA.
Hanni, who founded the Flyers' Rights Organization after being
stuck on the tarmac for nine hours in December of 2006, had been
exchanging information regarding airport strandings with Dr.
Foreman in order to find solutions, both for the flying public as
well as Metron Aviation. Dr. Foreman asserts that he was unaware he
was in violation of any laws or rules of the company.
Dr. Foreman claims that he not only was unlawfully terminated,
but he and his family's private e-mails were illegally hacked.
Foreman and his wife are presently considering legal action against
Metron Aviation, Inc. and Delta Airlines. Meanwhile, Foreman is now
dedicating his time and resources to solving increased safety and
delay problems associated with flying by volunteering as Research
Director for the Flyers' Rights Organization, the largest airline,
passenger rights group in existence.
Dr. Foreman, who analyzed surface delays and worked on airspace
redesign, is the owner and CEO of Mathematical Modeling Inc. (MMI),
a company which provides information technology and data security.
The former NASA Graduate Fellow and first African-American to be
awarded a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Florida A&M
University, is a distinguished scientist and engineer who has
received over 23 awards, 50-plus patents for his inventions, and
numerous distinctions over his 34-year career.
