Court Rules Eeoc Suit Can Proceed To Trial Ag
Court Rules EEOC Suit Can Proceed to Trial Against Skywest Airlines
In its lawsuit (EEOC v. SkyWest Airlines, Inc., N.D. Ill. No 07 C 4925), the EEOC alleges that SkyWest discriminated against three former employees by subjecting them to sexual harassment by a co-worker and then firing them in retaliation for complaining about the hostile workplace, all in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The court noted that between six and eight offensive remarks were made to each of the women and included the speaker’s statements, “that he wished he could put his mouth on her breasts” and “that he wanted to have sex with her and get between her thighs.”
I've said that about many of Skywest female employees. Of course...not to their face.
Anyone know if the pilot is still employed??

Or, it could just be a bunch of B$ false accusations from a few pilot-hatin' FAs that got pi$$ed off at something totally unrelated and wanted to get someone fired or try to squeeze SKW for some $$$ in a settlement after they got themselves fired. It's not like it's the first time an FA accused a pilot of doing/saying something inappropriate. Not always true though.
But I like the way you assume the guy did it after reading a complaint.

We at ASA have two pilots awaiting trial for assault/battery on a gate agent. Both incidents happened in ATL and the gate agents "claim" the pilot either struck them or twisted their arm. Her friends at the gates next door (~50 yards away) "claim" they "sawed 'da whole thang".
My understanding is that the gate agents tried several times to get a monetary settlement in exchange for dropping the charges. The pilots elected to go to trial.
