Fly dive, by meeting up with Why Panic you may, perhaps, see that he is fit and spritely. There is no suggestion that he he violent, only your interpretation - classic creation of a Straw Man argument on your part.
As for Jetgo :
- inappropriate to send email with age listed as rejection criteria.
- inappropriate to make a threat of blacklisting.
-inappropriate to make a public apology on a public Internet forum which actually revealed a reluctance to fully own the problem. Instead, we were treated to a "it's not my fault, man" defence in which it was inferred that any criticism of Jetgo was unreasonable.
Cactus, for Jetgo to release some of "old mates" emails would also be inappropriate. That would not be the action of a worthy organisation. A sincere apology is a start, but words are cheap and fail to address a tangible wrong.
It's very difficult to see how Jetgo can reasonably make this up to Why Panic, who has been treated very badly.
Some suggestions as to how Jetgo could make amends are :
1) commit to tighten their IT use to include a mandatory employee sign-in on company computers.
2) removal of the author of the emails that were sent to Why Panic.
3) training to reinforce anti-discrimination legislation and its implications to their staff. Ensure that the cultural shift is real and enduring.
That would be a start. Other than a real offer of employment to Why Panic where Jetgo pay for his type-rating, I can't see how Jetgo could ever make reasonable amends for what has transpired.
