Karlene Petitt vs Delta
Finally, the news begins to break in the UK media about a huge win for Karlene Petitt against Delta. The Judge slammed the head of the FAA Steve Dickson. Her case is virtually the same as mine in that an airline was found to have retaliated against a pilot for raising serious safety concerns. The real concern is that, as in my case, the pilots union refused to support either case. It was only when the situation was taken out of the hands of the aviation establishment and given to the grown-ups did common sense prevail. In my case BALPA refused to provide legal support for the trial and the CAA's response was 'get over it'. Things should get very interesting at BALPA towers and the CAA over the next few months
