Before one undertakes to come on a public web board and declare the illegal actions of one's employer, one ought to determine that indeed the accusation is fact. This particularly when stating sure knowledge of legal wrong doing, as in "I know it for a fact."
Employers read these boards, too. It doesn't take much of a reputation bashing one's employer on a web board to lose a job, lose opportunities in a job, or have it follow one from job to job. Particularly in a day and age when employers routinely check facebook and other web locations that a potential employee has, it's common to have employers viewing new hire information before the new guys warms his first classroom seat.
One might be surprised how quickly a chief pilot or other management person picks up on comments made on line, even if the employee uses a different name or screen name, as context will quickly fill in the blanks.

If he's directed to stand by the side of the airplane as the passengers board and hold their hand, smile, dress in a chicken costume, dance and sing, pump fuel, toss bags, sit in the front seat and dress in a pilot costume, or teach gaelic during the enroute phase, then that's the discretion of the employer. If he doesn't want to do it, then he doesn't need to get paid. He can always go elsewhere. There's a big demand for 300 hour pilots with four stripes on their shoulders who can list "Cessna 172 Captain" on their resume.
What he does need to be able to do, when stating that he knows "for a fact" that his employer has broken the law, is show why. Thus far he can't.
Did you miss it?
You understand how to use a dictionary, don't you? Give it a whirl.

Yours are only personal points of view, but you talk as you are the only one to retain the truth. Our POI few years ago had a big issue with non qualified pilots wearing company uniforms in front of the flying customers. That's without even mentioning refueling and all the other duties that require specific training. But of course that was only his point of view.
