Why is the male named in this mess and yet the female is un-named and remains anonymous?
While (to a degree) I share your frustration at the apparent double standard that is regularly applied in these circumstances, the reason he is named and she isn't is because she plays no part in the case at hand.
The report relates to an AIRC complaint (LR3 - he's not a defendant, he's an applicant!) between the named captain and Virgin Blue. The FAs conduct has no bearing on the issue as it relates to the company's actions following the original allegations, and whether they complied with their contract and IR legislation.
One wonders though what he will do if his application is successful. Would you go back to work in an industry where all the FAs suspect you are a threat? Regardless of what actually happened, he's got bugger all chance of beating the reputation.
