Civil War in Civil Air Patrol?
Late yesterday, CAP Maj. Gen, Antonio J. Pineda violated the orders of the organization's Board of Governors (BoG) and wrote an e-mail to all members of the CAP's National Board, reminding the members that the CAP has rules and regulations. He said that the BoG had no right to suspend him and cited Article 15, Section 8 of the CAP Constitution and By-Laws, which does appear to make a clear statement of how cases against a national commander are to be handled.
The BoG was put in place by the Secretary of the Air Force to help govern its Auxiliary, so it appears, then, that Pineda's disregard of the BoG's orders is a direct affront to the secretary. Pineda claims these issues are not being handled properly.
Maj. Gen. Pineda was ordered by the BoG to have no contact with any Civil Air Patrol members during the period of his 180-day suspension.
