Per the linked decision she checked out at the next company just fine. On the other hand in the opinion:

True it is that Ms Henderson has been critical in her evidence and submissions of particular conduct on the part of Mr Shepherd and Mr Fisher. Mr Shepherd has left his employment with the Respondent. As a result, he will not be working at the Lismore base if Ms Henderson is reinstated. In any event, Mr Shepherd did make inappropriate comments to Ms Henderson during her first training flight, including that he was keeping a ‘paper trail’ for the purposes of her dismissal. As to Mr Fisher, I have found for the reasons explained in paragraph [184] above that he wanted the Respondent to employ an experienced and qualified AW139 pilot in lieu of Ms Henderson, and after he was not able to convince others to agree to that course of action, he repeatedly campaigned for Ms Henderson’s dismissal throughout her employment.
Perhaps the company has liability for not hiring a person when they should know their own employees have decided to undermine them.
