It's best to withhold judgement until the facts are presented. Hearing about this incident, I was a bit skeptical, the fact she was a frequent guest at the White House made me very skeptical. Not for who's in the White House, but the mere fact that this was a person with some clear political motivation. We are drowning in a toxic sea of political correctness, where anyone can scream discrimination, sexism, or racism, and the media will jump all over it wanting to vilify the accused perpetrator. Facts be damned. Look at Ferguson, the media was only so willing to go along with the "hands up, don't shoot" narrative, backing the story of an unreliable eyewitness despite the horrific consequences of getting it wrong. Officer Wison was convicted in the court of public opinion based on incorrect "facts" offered up by a sensationalist media. However, a grand jury was presented with the actual facts and determined there were no grounds to prosecute. However, most people's minds had already been made up, CNN had made up their minds for them.
The lesson to be learned here? Don't just take the accusor's word for it, gather the facts, and withhold judgment until all the facts are presented. Too many examples recently of false narratives being pushed by people with not so hidden agendas.
What say you CBreezy?

You seem more worried about everyone else's opinion rather than hearing out both sides of the story from the involved parties.

Serious question. After 8 years of intentionally prolonged, bad faith negotiations, and in an environment where there aren't any scabs to hire, if a pilot group were to walk out and strike, what would anyone do about it? I'm not advocating an illegal work action, but would there be any consequences for one in this climate? What provisions are in the RLA to deter something like that?
