Skepticism is great, Adlerdriver. Would that all FDX pilots had this attitude, but many remain purple punch drunk. But you can take it from another poster with close knowledge of HKG events: EighteenWheeler knows what he's talking about here. His post is 100% true based on my own personal knowledge. More details of these cases will become public when the AK State Commission on Human Rights finishes its investigation phase and starts prosecting FDX (3 initial complaints plus, I think, 3 more complaints of retaliation filed so far), and when these four termination cases proceed to arbitration.

Keep in mind that so far none of the fired pilots has had his/her day in court/arbitration, with an opportunity to confront witnesses or even to submit their own testimony. Meanwhile FDX continues to refuse to release information that would show just how arbitrary and inconsistent its prosecution of the fired pilots has been. The ASCHR has subpoena powers, so FDX's attempts to obstruct justice won't last forever. BS's return to the line is a good indication that the company knows how vulnerable its own managers have made it in this case -- no doubt that's among the reasons the company has hired outside counsel to represent it in AK.
