Apples and oranges.
What if you wrote an ASAP because of some operational safety concern and the response from the company was to take you offline and put you through a hearing where one of the outcomes was termination? Or, what if you refused to extend and reported unfit/fatigued and the company sent you to get evaluated by their doctor. Would you not feel like this was a form of discipline or intimidation? Would you be okay with a kangaroo court?

What if, in my actual experience, Delta has been a very fair employer, paid me well and while nowhere near perfect, is a job I'm grateful for? What if Captain Dickson actually listened to me for hours and was completely respectful with the data brought to him?
What if two airlines merged a decade ago, just posted an incredible quarterly profit which netted us another half-a-billion dollars in profit sharing while safely moving customers at nearly the speed of sound in industry leading comfort? What if?

Has FO Pettit ever publically outlined her SMS concerns, or what she seeks in that regard?
The message from her lawyer(s) seemed to be, pay us or we will smear Delta's name in the press as far and hard as we can.
Delta replied to blackmail, "we don't negotiate with terrorists."
Capt. Dickson is a good man caught up in collateral damage. The attorneys can't get any money from him, but that's not even the point. His confirmation is a soft target.
Admittedly, just my inference and my humble opinion. The fact she felt entitled a company paid party on an overnight, then to use Delta's branding, uniform and excerpts from Delta's copyrighted materials in her book(s) and demands SVP pay suggests a world-view not grounded in reality.

Don’t have a link but DPA emailed them out. Read most of them on a long deadhead, they’re often dry but occasionally interesting. Neither side comes out particularly shiny. Delta looks occasionally arrogant and dismissive and she looks....... well I’ll be charitable and say odd.
