He’s union, they can’t do anything to him. However, given the recent cases of the murderous disgruntled pilots (Germanwings and Malaysia Airlines) I wonder if they’ll be able to bench him with pay out of precaution. I know I sure wouldn’t want to fly on his flight.
You get on your flight to Phoenix and the flight attendant says, “your pilot is Bob Smith, by the way funny fact, he is suing Delta for $1 billion! Pretzels will be coming shortly.” That won’t give you any pause?
No, why, does suing others and expecting a payday somehow imply that the plaintiff is likely to be suicidal?
Or is the implication that the airline is likely to blow up their own airplane and kill hundreds of passengers just to swap one major lawsuit for hundreds of major lawsuits?
Well, from the perspective of non-shattered people, wanting to go through the hell and horror that is our justice system could lead outsiders to believe shit's not going great for them to begin with.
