Here is a direct quote from the lawsuit saying that she is suing for the actions of the captain and that the company is liable. She does say that the company's actions after the incident could be considered retaliatory.
CAUSES OF ACTION: WASHINGTON LAWS AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
(RCW 49.60), SEXUAL ASSAULT & NEGLIGENCE
14. Mr. Engelien’s actions, as the supervising officer on the flight, constitute
violations of Washington Laws Against Discrimination, sexual assault, and negligence.
Given Mr. Engelien’s position of authority on the flight and within the company, Alaska Airlines is liable for the violations stated herein. Mr. Engelien’s grossly abusive actions epitomize the necessity and purpose of the #metoo movement. Further, the actions on the part of Alaska Airlines after the incident could be construed as unlawfully retaliatory.
