Simplified: The plane had an unairworthy engine that wouldnt even produce TO thrust without overheating (the technique would be to split thrust levers on takeoff. If you refused you were threatened with termination). The "good" engine failed on takeoff and the engine that had been pencil whipped for a long time would not maintain level flight without overheating, leading to it failing.

What you’re describing is an active and ongoing effort to get rid of ALPA. Given the numerous, severe problems at WG, it’s extremely alarming that management’s main focus is on this sort of nonsense and not on safety and compliance. I don’t know how any legitimate airline can view the world’s premier aviation safety organization as a threat.
The 30%-ers who are leading the anti-ALPA charge all seem to be trapped at WG. Alcohol/drug issues, criminal records, FAA violations, aircraft accidents and/or marginal flying skills prevent some of these people from getting another job. It isn’t taking the new hires long to figure out they’ve been lied to!
