I’m guessing this is a SWA Pilot? I really hope none of our own would file such a lawsuit referencing “significant loss of pay” or whatever was quoted as well as throwing out the “safety card”. Who knows...

Legend has it they didn’t have to short the pilots, they shorted themselves. And Bethune said "you left $500 million on the table"—to their face. Allegedly.
