The only reason the company got involved was because he was drunk and behaved inappropriately enough a fellow crew member called the company on a recorded line saying they didn’t feel safe to fly with him. When he talked to the company less than 8 hours before his check in he was drunk enough he didn’t know what time it was and for them to notice he was drunk. He admitted all of this and entered HIMS.
There is zero evidence he raped anybody but in his own testimony he could not remember getting to his hotel room.
What she did was unforgivable, but let’s not forget what he did either.

Actually it sound like they BOTH got something slipped in their drinks while down and the bar.

I’m definitely not a grassy-knoll-shooter person, but it seems odd that a 50 year old habitual drinker would not remember getting to his room after drinking for 3 hours (she seems to have a habit of forgetting what happened so no comment there). It just seems unlikely something like that would happen in a hotel bar in the Midwest...
I just hope the memory loss wasn’t convenient.

Because she's a she, which carries a lot of weight in an industry that trips all over itself to find diversity hires and signal its virtues, I'm guessing she was pointed toward the door and invited to exit. Termination would have had a good shot at making the news and continuing the PR nightmare for the company.

As for how she got hired again, when your company is in the position of hiring direct entry captains, you take what you can get. But I'd bet she's on a very short leash.

Depends on where they actually were. If you're near (within a few miles) of a time zone line, phones may connect to a tower on the other side of the line and synch with the wrong time zone. A few towns used to be notorious for that, had to brief the crews to use the hotel alarm and not rely on the phone. The phones would sometimes even switch back and forth.

You should see some of the folks the commuters are hiring these days ( one of the reasons I left). Apparently they don't have a choice.

True. I’ve had that happen before.

But that only accounts for a 1 hour time difference. Not 2.

First of all, I already retracted that based on screenshots from his phone, second, that’s not what happened here, as there was a 2 hour difference, this seemed to be the phone not updating to local time after a flight from a different time zone.
