WizofOZ,
F/O Duggan, certainly had more than just the correct channels to use as an option as she is the ex-chief pilot's daughter. She however chose not to use either the proper channels or direct channels, but instead made a mess of the whole thing. She was not correct in the way she dealt with the issue. I am not questioning her reasoning, nor her decision to stand up. If she felt harassed, then great she should have gone the right way about it, and in her case especialy she would have had more options available. The fact that she is no longer with us, is because of the way she went about it and the fact that she left the company no options. It is an unfortunate matter, and I am not about to spill out all the details on pprune as this thread is about smoking on flight deck and the company's stance on smoking and not anything else.
