PPRuNe should cover the trial....

peekay4, good point. But. The Allegiant pilot was, if I am recalling correctly, defended in the forum thread pretty stridently or at least consistently, for having done the right thing. And the carrier management scored, again stridently or consistently (in same thread), for having tanked the man, predicated on his not having done anything wrong. Do you recall differently (and yes, it was a, uh, spirited exchange previously). I can't see that the AC759 aviators are being portrayed or defended here as having done nothing wrong.
(Perhaps the Allegiant trial will contribute to a growing, if still nascent, body of advocacy for an overhaul of massive proportions of US federal labor and employment law applicable to air carrier operations.)
