Fired Whistle Blower Now Volunteers For Flyers' Rights Organization

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.
