Right decision
I once gave a station manager the benefit of the doubt and boll@caked her when I caught her stealing; I didn’t file a report but she did, obviously had contacts and I wasn’t believed. After a month I went to the chief pilot and told him if he didn’t believe me then I would return to the RHS which I had left after 20 years. It wasn’t the end of the story as she had contacts in traffic which affected my flight concessions.
I stayed in the LHS but covered my arse with paperwork or always had a witness and drew others into my decisions.
Its a bit like lending a friend money.
