NAPA, Calif., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Accused whistler-blower Dr.
Frederick J. Foreman, former Senior Analyst for Metron Aviation Inc. (an
aviation consulting company with numerous government contracts), who was fired
for allegedly revealing critical information regarding airline passenger
safety to Kate Hanni of the Flyers' Rights coalition, has joined forces with
the volunteer organization.
Dr. Foreman, an 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 Federal Aviation
Administration (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, an incensed 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, the world's leading expert on surface delays and airspace
redesign, is the owner and CEO of Mathematical Modeling Inc. (MMI), a company
dedicated to providing 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.
