Grote- do you have any comments ont he fact that BM refused to follow the Court's order to reinstate you knowing that they could do this and the ultimate compensation would not be excessive? It concerns me that companies can flout Court instructions like this knowing they can get away with it for not a lot of damage. It seems to me, although I don't know your details, that 60k is not a lot to compensate for the loss of an established career. We seem to have had at least one similar case in BA. Unfortunately that resulted sadly in the (in my opinion) very tragic stress related death of Captain Stuart Clapson. The whole sorry saga threw appalling light on the handling of disciplinaries within BA, something the several responsible individuals must live with.
