The Soviet Union had a practice of labeling dissidents as being metally ill and then putting them in asylums.
Delta took a page from their playbook.
A pilot with 35 years of experience reported problems at Delta. She refused to back down, so management had her declared mentally ill.
Delta just paid her $500,000 to settle her claims and the doctor who signed off on management's diagnosis gave up his medical license.
I thnk they got off easy. There should have been another zero or two in that settlement. And the doctor should have been given an involuntary vacation in a crossbar hotel.
Delta is apparently fucking corrupt and sexist to boot. If they were willing to go to such measures to silence a single pilot, one has to wonder if they treat their mechanics the same way.
So, when you get on a Delta jet, think about that.
And maybe it was no coincidence that Delta codeshared with Aeroflot.

Ms Pettit waged a long legal battle against Delta. The judgement favoring her was issued on December 21,2020. Steve Dickson, who led Delta at the time, was nominated in 2019 to the FAA Administrator position by T***p. And the same Steve Dickson resigned after 2-1/2 years of a five year term, citing 'wanting to spend more time with the family' as the reason. I'm sure that the embarrassing loss in this court case had nothing to do with his decision.
Yeah, right.
