If she or her husband runs to the FAA causing an investigation for every small mistake or imperfection that happens imagine how many careers derailed along with expensive FAA inquiries will happen over the next 30 years. Although she will probably get the record for most bid avoid person ever.

Personally I don’t take the “get upset” route. Take the get even route. Request to have the FAA in her flight deck and simulator for every time she flies to note every thing done absolutely not perfect. Start investigations for each thing- result is that she will be terminated without a lawsuit- because no one flies perfect every time- I know when I have the absolute perfect flight- it’s time to retire.

Not mentoring, not being debriefed and sent on their way, but being mocked behind their back and an organied effort to be blackballed from the jump seat at multiple airlines???

Somebody make this make sense to me!

You tell me if this makes any sense to you:

Crew is distracted by looking for traffic and they allow the aircraft to get a little slow with no aural warnings. The jumpseater speaks up and points it out to the crew. Crew immediately addresses it and thanks the jumpseater. The rest of the flight being uneventful.

In what and whose world does it make sense to call the FAA if you're a pilot? What are you gonna say? "Yeah hi... I was the jumpseater and I pointed out an airspeed deviation to thew crew that was distracted by looking out for traffic." "OK ma'am, so what happened?" "They sped up and landed the plane with no further issues."

Again, what pilot would actually call the FAA and report that? That's the part I'm struggling to understand because it literally makes no sense. I could see a Karen manbun spouse who traveled on that plane making that call off the casual conversation with her... not a working airline pilot.

That's why when Casey apparently addressed this to the upgrade class and said it was her husband who was also traveling on that plane that called the FAA after she mentioned what happened to him. That actually made sense.

I hope any of you bullying or harassing this pilot learn an (expensive) lesson and stop being so bitter and mean all the time.
