The rumour is not alleged but fact.
Witthout Prejudice
A captain was suspended after having informed the managing director of information pertaining to the allegations pending a meeting with Joe Forster the director of flight operations.
The captain refused to attend a meeting even though the captain was on standby until the content of the meeting and who would be in attendance were notified to the captain in writing. The flight operations director refused and suspended the captain from ground and flying duties until the meeting could be re-convened.
The captain was informed that this was NOT a disciplinary matter!
At the meeting the captain was asked several questions by the flight operations director pending what seemed to be a civil libel action.
After the meeting the captain was reinstated with the proviso that that captain not fly with another particular captain (even though they both enjoyed flying together) and also that the captain be rostered to fly in Liege as much as possible, much against that captains wishes. (If that is not abuse of power I don't know what is?)
If this were a company investigation then the Flight Operations Director should not be handling it, considering the allegations were made about himself.
Any one care to comment?
