Virgin Australia and its high-flying chief executive Jayne Hrdlicka have been accused of bullying a senior pilot at the airline group in a Fair Work court case.
Captain Michael Fitzgerald launched Federal Court action on Tuesday against the airline.
A Virgin Australia spokeswoman confirmed it was being sued by the company’s former general manager of flight operations after an extended period of personal leave. The company also confirmed that allegations had been made directly against Hrdlicka.

That might be hard to prove, . Not all bullying involves direct threats to a person. The subtle form is "social bullying" - a campaign of deliberate exclusion from the activities of the management group. Invitations dry up, names get left off meeting attendance or document distribution lists, etc. It is very hard to prove such things because they involve sins of omission, not commission.
