Also, the “clean kill” comment came from Employee Relations and not the VP of Flt Ops I’m fairly positive.
Agree. If you lay hands on someone, it had better be to defend yourself or someone else. That being said, we all make mistakes and from the account that I heard from someone who watched the footage, it wasn't exactly one sided. He deserved his job back and that's what happened. Case closed. All the other drama is just background noise.
It's amazing how I can be locked in a closet for four days with someone who I completely disagree with on just about everything but we can manage to be cordial and get the job done. Civility is a dying virtue.
