A former top safety inspector for the Federal Aviation Administration in Seattle who complained bitterly about being thwarted by her own bosses while trying to enforce air-safety standards at Alaska Airlines has filed a discrimination lawsuit in federal court.

Mary Rose Diefenderfer alleges that sex discrimination and retaliation for whistle-blower activities forced her to leave the agency in 1999.
