Thread regarding United Airlines (United Continental Holdings Inc. - UAL Corp.) layoffs

@1ljt, your comment was prophetic. Apparently an inflight director in sfo “resigned” yesterday.

Here’s a brief summary of the currently publicly available info, roughly in chronological order:

• Elmhurst police was allegedly investigating Cefolia even before he went missing, though the details of that aren’t known, and he hasn’t been charged with anything; a city spokesperson said “we are unable to comment any further on this as it remains an active and ongoing investigation”
• Cefolia’s ex-wife claimed he had previously fantasized about “getting off the grid”
• Cefolia flew to San Francisco on August 4 to spend time with his girlfriend for her birthday, and the girlfriend claims she recently broke up with Cefolia, but he wanted to get back together; she said he didn’t make any concerning comments, but was drinking more than usual
• Cefolia was allegedly seeing a second woman, who he communicated with on August 6, she didn’t hear from him on August 7, and he missed the dinner they were supposed to have together on August 8
• On August 6, Cefolia returned from California, and had dinner with family at home, where he was allegedly intoxicated
• On August 7, Cefolia missed a corporate event; however, he was seen on video getting gas at around 9:15AM (his last credit card transaction), and was also seen on video entering Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve (where he would often jog), wearing hiking boots and khakis
• His car was parked in a gravel parking lot, and a search didn’t reveal anything suspicious — the car had golf clubs, a first aid kit, a sweatshirt, and a face mask
• He didn’t take any traceable devices with him, as his cell phone and Apple Watch were both found at home
• On August 8, Cefolia was reported missing
• On August 10, Cefolia’s family hired a private investigator
• Police and volunteers have carried out several searches of Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve, and while some articles of clothing have been found, it’s not clear that any of them belonged to Cefolia

A few more things to note:

• We know nothing further about the criminal investigation that Cefolia was allegedly subject to prior to going missing
• Cefolia was trying to sell his Elmhurst home, and it hit the market on June 16, had a price reduction on July 16, and had a further price reduction on August 4 (two days before he went missing); it was allegedly under contract, but he missed the appointment with his real estate agent on August 6
• There’s video surveillance of Cefolia getting gas before going to Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve, where his car was found; he appears to have spent nearly three minutes putting gas in his car, which suggests he was filling the tank, rather than just topping it off because he was running low (his car is the Range Rover that can be seen in the distance for the second half of the video)

Yep, it's pretty messed up...

It surprising. There are scandal all over. Inflight on west coast had a director sleeping with staff. His boss has been accused of inappropriate contact/harassment with his subordinates. It’s the norm.
