The PWA is there to protect all of us, even if we have a past or a bit eccentric. I am not shocked at everyone’s displeasure with her, but if 25% of what she says ALPA and the company did to her is true, we should all be getting more familiar with our contract. Making sure we personally know our rights and how to navigate such procedures if the time comes that we find ourselves in a similar situation.

If being angry about a merger, being eccentric, or having a past were disqualifications for being an airline pilot then I am sure the U.S. aviation transportation system would be forced to shut down.

P.T. Barnum is reputed to have said: “There’s no such thing as bad publicity.”
He did not work for an airline.

Just the first one would be sufficient to shut it all down, the latter two are just icing on the cake.

He'll more than likely get confirmed. The majority in the Senate drools over people who fire whistleblowers without cause. I'm sure most of them would like to see whistleblowers prosecuted for interfering with business interests

So you are saying our "whistleblower" in question is the rational entity here?

One person's "whistleblower" is another's toxic personality/messiah complex sort with an agenda.

Of course the trick is figuring out who really DOES have a legitimate claim, and who doesn't. Kind of like the following I learned in a college class. "I" is the positive connotation of a statement, "you" is the neutral, and "he" is the negative--but they all say the same thing.

I am reconsidering an issue.

You changed your mind.

He went back on his word.
