This is a very serious incident, regardless of which side you choose. We as airline professionals should be above this, and not play the court of public opinion. And most of the comments on this thread are very troubling. I have daughters her age and I hate to think of the wolf pack they face in this world on a daily basis, where a woman alleges rape and gets torn apart on the internet and slut shamed. As a veteran pilot, I feel for a Captain with a clean record who makes a bad decision and faces the end of his career or even prison. This is bad all around.
I vote the mods close this thread. It's been beat to death. Let the courts deal with it, not pseudo experts hiding behind screen names. Uphold your profession.
Nobody is getting subpoenaed here unless they have first-hand knowledge of the events.
This is an important issue in general and it's probably helpful for many to learn what others may think (even if some of it's distasteful). Folks posting distasteful thoughts may benefit from learning what others think of their position.
Nothing is far enough off the rails to warrant closing this thread.
Also since the plaintiff is giving interviews in the media, there's case for protecting her privacy.
