So, they offered him a non-flying position.
Unless large parts of this have been misrepresented in the article, it seems to me that the airline bent over backward to accommodate him.
Yes have to say to me it looks like that from what is written in the DM piece... It looks to me simply from what has been written that the problem is not a lack of support from the company, it is that from strictly legal POV a procedural step in the dismissal process was missed, and it is that failure of process which has led to the Judge's decisions.
