Sorry, I'm not buying it. There is just no way on god's green earth that Delta would, in 2009, suspend a female pilot for reporting that a co-worker had threatened her regarding a sexual discrimination harassment complaint. She may indeed have been suspended without pay, but guarantee you there was more to it than she telling.
McCraw said she eventually lost her job after becoming involved in a verbal confrontation with a male flight attendant during a layover in London in August 2010 and being arrested.
Oh well. If you're flying for a first tier passenger carrier, and you get into an altercation with a co-worker that results in the police hauling you off to jail while on a layover, don't be surprised if you get fired. I can guarantee that you aren't the first pilot that's happened to. That ain't discrimination, that's just life in the big leagues.
