Contingency is an arrangement where a lawyer takes a percentage of the settlement as his/her fee. No money up front. Many lawyers will accept a wrongful termination case on those terms. Call around.

The "one phone call exception" can be used if the
pilot chooses to answer an unexpectedly ringing telephone. If the pilot is required to answer the phone call, it is not rest. The pilot can put the operator on notice that he does not ever wish to be disturbed during a rest period, or turn the phone off or tell the front desk not to forward calls. The operator can make only one attempt to contact the pilot.
Repeated phone calls can be used as evidence of a broken rest period. Contact after 'do not call' notice is evidence. Contact during a period of time when a pilot would reasonably be expected to be sleeping (e.g. late night or the middle of the rest period) can also be used against the pilot/operator. Contact during a rest period that actually causes fatigue can be used to justify a 91.13 violation.
Still sounds like your stuff is hangin' out there to me. I'm not answering.

Lawsuits scare business owners, not poor pilots. I'm more afraid of losing my certificate or losing my job to an illegally operating competitor. If one sticks to the facts and the truth, there should be nothing to worry about. Plus, anonymity is like a nice, warm blanket. (Name that movie
)
