I read this story on the news channels, in the early hours of this morning.

The final straw to all these events, was, he crashed the simulator flight, apparently didn't recognize a computer abnormality.
That's why the things are, where they are now.

It's interesting to note, the court didn't order the company to restore the employee to his previous position.

It's a similar court order story, as was the case in Tasmania, when an employee, called in sick the night before, for an early shift,
due to a night out.
Although the employee won the case and received a few months of monetary compensation, the court didn't order the company to return
the person back to work.
