OL: Your argument about people with intolerances not pursuing a career in aircraft is peurile and demeans yourself more than your target.. .1. Legionaires Disease has a direct cause, and is easily corrected, indeed any so contaminated water-towers in this state are no longer tolerated and the owner may be prosecuted.. .2. Golden Staph. is, I believe, almost impossible to eradicate, but MAY be controlled by the administering of antibiotics.. .3. The subject Captain had not long completed her Command Endorsement, until which time her career had progressed without incident. The occurrence of the air contamination was what created her problem, on-going to this day, what has annoyed all who know her is the treatment meted out by her employer AND insurance companies. I do not profess to know all the details of her case, nor the settlement, but enough to have sympathy for a career in ruins through no fault of hers. People in similar circumstances are deserving of consideration and help, NOT being treated in the manner she was. I'm tempted to rant and rave about the disgraceful "running for cover" attitude displayed towards her but, on reflection, I don't believe it would change the attitudes of big business one iota.
