KAMELAMELA: Okay, that's the question. Did you talk to him and ask him whether he took the class from Hiram? CAMBRA: I think I mentioned to him, but I'm not sure. KAMELAMELA: Okay. To make one point clear, you knew that failure to do the air brake correctly would be an automatic failure. You knew that before Hiram did the performance test, right? CAMBRA: Yes. KAMELAMELA: And that's something that CAMBRA: Well, yes, I guess. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. KAMELAMELA: Okay. But that's something that you read, prior to the CAMBRA: - -I knew it. I'm not sure howl knew it, but I knew it. My thing is not that he did or didn't do his job, that Hiram did not do his job. That is not why I'm here. lam here stating that because, if there's an ethical violation, if they caught it before this, you know, the outcome might have been different, because, you know, Hiram, when he do the performance test, he do the air brakes first. If Manuel Santos did it, he might have done the pre -check first. And you know, what I'm saying is not that he didn't do his job. My concern is I believe if there was a conflict of interest, I feel that I might have lost the opportunity for a promotion, because by doing the testat the exact same time the guy came up to me, might have been different results, a different ways that they can the test, than how they did the performance test. That is KAMELAMELA: - -You agreed with me, that failing the air brakes in the performance test is automatic failure. CAMBRA: Yes. KAMELAMELA: And that's an objective standard, right? If anybody had failed the air brakes, that person wouldn't have passed the performance test, too, right? CAMBRA: I guess. KAMELAMELA: That standard applies to anybody who GILMAN: But he failed because he when shake his friend's hand. That's why he failed. KK: Mr. Keliikoa is here. Do the members of the Board- KAMELAMELA: I don't have any further questions for Mr. Cambra. 25
