yea, how dare those French: if they had not messed with our revolution we would be speaking English instead of American.

Good point, but you've got to give Purpledog credit; that was damned funny!

Dont forget that things arent always as they seem. I do know that this guy at one time continued a flight to Hawaii with engine trouble, prior to his ETP.

Interesting....but irrelevant.

Capt Megadeath : As other have pointed out, this captain will never get hired by another airline. His career is most likely over due to his termination. NAA screwed him out of his livelyhood and retirement. And any airline that fires captains for refusing to fly unairworthy aircraft deserves to be raked over the coals. A monkey can push buttons and pull levers and fly an airplane. That is not what we as airline pilots are paid for. We are paid to use our experience and judgement to operate the aircraft in a safe manner. NAA fired the captain for doing his job correctly. No way do I see this as excessive.

Cmon man, get another avtar Sam died this year.

While he is certainly entitled to something, for wrongful termination, loss of income and likely loss of his flying career, he will not likely get all that the jury awarded. The jury verdict will be appealed and the appellate judge will likely order a remittur of the award, substantially reducing both amounts.

Compensatory yes maybe but punitive no way that one sticks.

It was a 757 and had a loss of oil pressure.

 

[Capt1124]

Now, someone please tell me why someone deserves to become a millionaire because the wrongfully terminated him. I can see court, attorney costs, back pay for the time you were not employed and benefit money but $12 million? That is excessive, just like the mentality in America these days. Truly sad. Furthermore, the pilot did not stick it to management....they will be ok regardless. In truth, now the company will have less cash and stick it back to the pilots in the end. Meanwhile, the one dude that got screwed never has to work again. Bogus.

Because this and many other airlines did the same thing 10,000 other times with absolutely *no consequences*!

Maybe- not very freaking likely, but just maybe- the next time an airline wants to fire somebody for pointing out something unsafe, or writing up a serious squawk- they will think "We'll almost certainly get away with it, but there's a small chance we won't, and it we don't it will cost us a bunch of money, so let's not."

Don't comment on things you haven't experienced, and don't know anything about.
