Oh, side note, I lost my arbitration. 20 yr career gone. Hundreds of thousands defending myself and the arbitrator not only put the burden of proof on me, but made a medical diagnosis to help justify it...

“...given the lack of verifiable evidence that his tests were false positives, we must land on the side of what is scientifically supported, and conclude that Danford is in denial about his disease and relapse...”. Mark L Burdette, Delta vs Danford, 2021.

CONCLUDE I am a relapse in denial!! Keep in mind only two MDs testified, one my witness, one theirs (who ironically is actually my FAA doctor), and BOTH said I was in sustained remission.

So he came up with that medical conclusion with his vast experience as a HR exec... Mark L. Burdette. Willing to share transcripts, briefs and the decision so anyone can make up their own mind.

And I showed unrefuted proof a person can get a positive and negative on the same day. Apparently that isn’t scientific. And on and on and on.

The FAA, a dentist board, one organ transplant board, senior FAA HIMS AMEs, several rehab clinics, and the founder of biomarkers all acknowledge false positives, but many judges, delta airlines and Alpa still have their heads in the sand. This ignorance puts the public at risk by their own argument as their lack of interpretive skills is just as likely to NOT catch someone drinking. Garbage in, garbage out.
