I can easily see the potential for conflict with this fo. If she flies with a captain who tells her she's a liar who got his friend fired.....that's a serious CRM problem. Many possibilities for conflict here.
Absolutely. Just from some of the more rabid postings on this thread who have already stated they would refuse to fly with her at all. It's easy enough to envision a few comments degenerating into an "I won't fly with this flaming *********" situation, and unless someone kept the cockpit audio it would be impossible for the CP and HR to sort out the he said-she said.
For that matter, HR and legal might be frightened half to death that the young lady, WHO IS ALREADY SUING THE COMPANY, might be very happy to fly with - and record - the most misogynist pilots in the company to bolster her case and to demonstrate the company is NOT providing her with a workplace free of misogynist comments.
I imagine Alaska HR and management will be treading softly with this young lady until there is some resolution ACCEPTABLE TO HER and even then, if she remains in Alaska's employ, they will be falling all over themselves to investigate every allegation she makes about every male coworker who offends her. Given the level of hatred leveled at her in some of these posts, it ought to be interesting times - in the Chinese curse sense of the expression.
