Flight Opts pilot arrested

[jehtplane]

Well in court some more details came out. The latest report is that they were caught in the act in the stairwell. She claims she told the pilot No, but he replied "no one says no to me!" and preceeded to rape her. She then exchanged phone numbers with the pilot. She claims it was for identification purposes only in case he got away. Finally, when the arresting officer was asked if there were any indications of a assault or rape he said no.

The more info comes out, the more it sounds like she was embarrased to be caught, didn't want to get charged with screwing in public and cried rape.

I've told my wife the details that have been reported so far and based on those (which is only a small part and subject to errors) and she believes the 'victim' is making this up (the rape, not the sex part). She worked in the Kentucky correctional system studying case files of sexual predators and victims during her PhD in Psych studies. She feels that comments like "no one says no to me" are to cliche. Plus the information about the phone number jsut doesn't fit either. I have no care for any kind of sexual criminal, especially after hearing the stories my wife would tell me from the files she saw; however, I think a women who uses rape as an excuse to cover her own indiscretions to save face is also horrible as they are ruining the life of a person with something that will follow them till the day they die.

I agree that the word rape is a terrible word to throw around if that is not what happened, however, I think that some of the reports are not accurate as to what was said and in what order. .

Its funny how a company will drop you just like that. Flight options is definatley not my option.

If this all does turn out to be just her invoking the "rape" word to save herself embarrassment and Flt Opts dropped him like they did, he's going to be set for life after the lawsuit against Flt Opts...

If hey had waited until he was convicted to fire him, that'd be one thing. Firing him at the first sign of arrest is pretty stupid on their part - sounds like they need a better labor law attorney on their HR payroll.

I agree with their decision to drop him. He was supposedly in uniform, jumpseating to his job. He admitted to having sex in public with a girl at the airport. Nice way to represent your company. I guarantee in the paperwork for his firing it made mention of the arrest, but the reason was probably his innappropraite behavior while representing the company. I have yet to work for a company that doesn't have some wording in the employee handbook that mentions something about properly representing and respecting the company.

He was on a company paid ticket on company time. Some people's stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

 

[Lear70]

Granted, they had every RIGHT to fire him, but ONLY after hearing all the evidence; there's a difference in what they did.

They didn't wait to get his side of the story, they didn't wait to see if he even DID act inappropriately (he probably did, given the circumstance), they simply heard of his arrest, heard the grounds, and immediately dismissed him.

THAT'S what's going to hang Flt Opts mgmt on this one; his attorney is going to have a field day with it... of course that's a big IF he comes through this and the D.A. drops the charges.

Company Attorney: "Mr. Pilot, is it a true that while on duty in uniform, you engaged in sexual relations with a 16 year old girl in a public area inside an airline terminal?"

Yeah - I can see his legal team being able to get a BIG settlement out of a judge or jury with those sets of facts.

 

[ProFracPilot]

He was also "employed at will". Flight Options needs no reason to fire him, although I have to admit he gave them one. He'll have no legal recourse against FltOps. Moral issue aside, he was in company uniform. Add 1000 idiot points on top of those previously earned for that bone headed move.

The big picture.

The incident with this 16 year-old may be a totally different circumstance and this advise wouldn't help this situation, but I have found, from experiences within my family and with other families I am friends with, that child molestation occurs much more often than most people would like to believe. Also, I can attest that you would never be able to pick these predators out of a group as being sick in the head. These people go to church, have families, etc., etc., etc.

My point is this...If you have kids, talk to them about this freaky stuff when they are young. Nothing fancy, just discuss what inapproprate touching is and what they should do if someone attempts to do it to them.

Right word?

If this girl is actually 16, I don't think the word "Woman" would apply to this situation. She is still a kid in my eyes. Even if it was her "indiscretion", he commited a crime by having sex with a minor. The argument may be made that she lied about her age. Though I don't buy that. I am 40, and anyone under 20 looks like a puppy to me. If he had any common sense, he could have used the phone # later and kept his member in check until he knew the facts. At the VERY least it was an incredible bone head mistake...no punn intended.

Higher plane

A little off the subject but,talking about "cream of the crop" pilots at Options look at our new Higher Plane Award winner

Who got the higher plane award? I can't find where it is, if at all, on the pilot web site.

I used woman in general. As for him committing a crime. He didn't. She is of legal age. Age if consent in GA is 16. Yes, she's a kid, by women, I was referring to females in general. His indiscretion in the eyes of the law was not sex with a minor as, by that laws in GA, she is not a minor (even though I think 16 is too young, 18 should be the min for age of consent in all states).

As for your previous comment, your right, it happens more than people know. The most interesting case of child abuse my wife reviewed in her research was one 60+ year old grandma who sodomized her grandson with a broom. That was one of the most disturbing case files my wife ever reviewed. I'm right there with her in thinking that sex offenders can never be rehabilited.

In this case however, by law, he's not a sex offender, no matter our own personal views.

 

[OnTheFly]

Wow!

I had no idea it was 16 in GA. That's probably stated already somewhere in all these posts, but I skipped through them pretty quick. I guess the questions now is whether it was uninvited sex. Maybe the medical exam of the girl will shed some light on the events.
