Not a chance in heck this violent felon was paid 2 million to leave 😅 zero chance

Probation is not actually a carte blanch to fire someone for "any reason or no reason" in most states. You need a reason, it has to be reasonable, and it also has to be equitable, ie you've treated others in similar situations the same.

I’d give 0 credence to the “he was paid off” rumors. All the details were already out and the guy was on probation with a violent felony. He’s owed nothing.

If for some reason he decided to sue JB, he would become persona non grata at any job with career expectations…not just flying. It’s best for him to just keep his head down and move on.
