That's going to continue and will really make G4 look bad if they lose this, which I suspect they will.
The company hasn't been much for accountability, until lately....
There was an extraordinary amount of captains fired in the last five years. His case got the most publicity. I don’t think his law suit is aiming at reinstatement. I think it’s just a cash settlement, which he will probably get. I believe, management claimed he was not humble enough during his interrogation and did not agree with his actions. Hence he was terminated.
Now we have a contract that acts as a buffer by allowing us to mandate representation during any interrogations, I mean safety debriefings. And an arbitration process for any disciplinary action.
