Seems to me $500K is not enough.
Agree
I agree It is not enough for all she had to go through for 6 years but that doesn't include all the back pay and any bonuses she missed and paid vacation sick time lost that they owe. The 500K she got was probably more than likely for the pain and suffering. I know and fully understand what she went through and believe me it is the most stress full thing to go through.They try and dig up dirt on you and your past to discredit the employee it gets nasty and ugly because the company doesnt care about the employee your all of a sudden an enemy for speaking up on safety and they threaten the jobs of any witnesses you have still working at the company. They ll say that they are not doing this but believe me they are saw it first hand.
I had that same judge he is not a fair judge at all.This DOL judge believe me is in the corporates pocket and makes an unchallenged ruling he has a lot of power. In this case He had no choice here but to go along probably with the mediators decision reluctantly since the judge is ruling obviously was appealed and a mediator brought in to decide this case as reported. I had prima-facie established and 100% evidence but yet this very judge is very much against the little guy the worker and doesn't want to initiate media attention if possible at all cost on a major fortune 500 company . This pilot probably had the funds to continue most employees can not continue an appeal and stop as it is very expensive and the judge most likely gets his way in his single handed ruling as there is no jury. so an appeal takes more time and costs more money ending it without an appeal.

in a fantasy world, delta would be compelled to allecute to the falsehoods and dirty tricks used against this pilot for doing good and ethical aims at exposing the grey areas pilots were operating in from time to time. The company tried to squash, pulvarize and defame her, now they stand exposed.
Very similar to politics.
Recommend everyone read the linked article in Mr. Pyle's comment below for the more complete story. Sad commentary that the boss who initiated the actions against her has been promoted. For most organizations, safety is never first. Profits and control of their employees are.
