Has FO Pettit ever publically outlined her SMS concerns, or what she seeks in that regard?

The message from her lawyer(s) seemed to be, pay us or we will smear Delta's name in the press as far and hard as we can.

Delta replied to blackmail, "we don't negotiate with terrorists."

Capt. Dickson is a good man caught up in collateral damage. The attorneys can't get any money from him, but that's not even the point. His confirmation is a soft target.

Admittedly, just my inference and my humble opinion. The fact she felt entitled a company paid party on an overnight, then to use Delta's branding, uniform and excerpts from Delta's copyrighted materials in her book(s) and demands SVP pay suggests a world-view not grounded in reality.
