Arbitrator rules that FAA chief aided retaliation case
The FAA declined to comment on the ruling, instead pointing to Dicksonโs past comments on the case, including that he wasnโt deeply involved in it. The pilot, Karlene Petitt sued Atlanta-based Delta in a Labor Department administrative proceeding in 2016. The judge said Delta failed to produce evidence of any shortcomings in Petittโs performance as a pilot. Dickson, a former pilot, was Deltaโs senior vice president of flight operations when Petitt raised her concerns. Dickson said in his deposition that Petitt โraised some important issues,โ but he disputed her claim that Delta pressured pilots to fly when tired.
