Well unfortunately for AK this has gone way past the point where they can keep it quiet. Whatever happens they are going to have to make some kind of public statement which will probably rely heavily on their investigation.
One big hole in her legal team is, according to everything publicly available on them, they have no background in employment law or sexual harassment cases. Both are personal injury lawyers, and one has a background in malpractice and the other in criminal defense. AK hired an attorney with a 25 year background in employment law, harassment cases, and workplace violence to investigate this.
Keep in mind the company already has the findings of a very good attorney in employment law cases, and they haven't fired him. In fact every indication was he was going back to work until this lawsuit was filed. So if this lady found anything indicating what this FO said was true, it is highly unlikely he would be going back to work.
We'll see where this ends up.
