Just ask the poor b******d LAME that blew the whistle on Alaskan Airlines in the mid 90’s. He has never worked as a LAME again even though he was right and supplied the info anonymously to the FAA.
Legislation exists in Canada and the USA for protection against discrimination & unfair dismissal of all whistleblower employees. If the LAME you speak of hasn't worked again it's because
HE chose to.
He's probably living off the proceeds of his unfair dismissal lawsuit against Alaska Airlines !
