Budvar asked why management allowed this to develop. A cynical answer would be cost. If the female pilot is anything like the description then she would be hitting them with a sex discrimination writ if they had the balls to stand up to her. This of course could lead to unlimited damages.. .. .Add this to the pathetic standard of people management in all areas of industry and you can begin to see why a good guy such as MP was an easier target that the female pilot.. .. .The message from this is that whilst most female pilots are perfectly able to work with male colleagues you will always have the one who can suddenly bring you face to face with the scenario faced by MP. It is a doomsday scenario that can happen to any of you, at any time.. .. .MP has shown morale courage to bring this shaby, disgraceful and incompetently handled incident to general attention.
