Pilot 4 came forth and willingly shared her situation. It was not required of her to do so.

Pilots 1-3 may have been advised that it is not to their advantage to open their lives to every Tom, Dick and Harry that is curious.

Let's just suffice it to say that the circumstances outlined in the FDX email, as compared to Pilot 4's public statement are light years apart. In the absence of a public laundering of their personal circumstances and defense pleadings, I don't think that it is a stretch that Pilot's 1-3 didn't have some elements of ridiculousness present in their terminations as well.

I wish all 4 the best of luck and look down on FDX management's purported "high road" and "fair" evaluation and handling of that pilot's case as a minimum. In my heart of hearts, I also think that Pilots 1-3 were subjected to the same lame, self serving interpretation, perhaps on different data.

If you like Kool-Aid, FDX management has a plethora of mixes available to drink.
