5:37 am
moving it can put it on a move like we have let's do another key stand key. that was me shut off. i'm just is the oldest of the 3. so she's with the right of resistance. but if it's a choice of northwest retreat, spit states, it's pretty no except me. it was pointed out that it was because he just thought it was the side of the that i so as a move of the, the use of the loop and that's, but now for me, if i need the,
5:38 am

more of a phone us and it also says that session i wanted to circle back off on that exist. there's not that any of the big good that you saw me sitting in the as these dash slash the blue don't get any moment please for use for the for my, for me to really someone that is
5:40 am
of the church which the
5:41 am
novelist looks. she's the insurance and even though i know what's going on on the board and down it does go right down with the
5:42 am
the, the convention which is gonna give it up. the human steve says that you would go and then your local regional scope on lead me up was or what for the simple 1st is what i'm what the by the end of the so that there's a little bit like this, but i do holidays if you would that, you know, you put me in, but i'd be hard to what positives to have them give me a sample it doesn't pop all up on the value of coke. you with a little consumer that has to be in front of
5:43 am
them. you also can also regional minimum the for the sum of some seem like it was gonna ask about the flow to the you if not. so those are what the lady told us that the subset of my company will set partial 1st. i have no interest. let's be able to lift it. don't go off with the choice to live is, let's get you over to you. what else does the most of what i'm missing? the closer, i should say that's not the of the lady. the
5:44 am
list all the more it must be like this one is also on the using the the bottom on the option. absolutely, absolutely. you can look up on the screen, the low and the some of the suppliers, dentures cost be it's pretty significant. so we can go to the very 1st thing, you know, i thought was the closest one about the trust, the small company was for the cool blue smoke or something. come with the included the show. here comes the cause of the way you want us controls the question,
5:45 am
but almost to the 1st level with this question says, and i think one of the monitors to for so did the special a small let's go 1st can do the we did not video award when you chose do who did so strict portion and i'm going to go to mobiles. so eventually we moved to change. just let me change a printer. but i mean, at the you, something you don't want to do is to put on the, the the necessary outcome. steve levels which you use are several the gomez to gauge and you, but it was colombia. more of
5:46 am
a trend with another is this really just the key is a little scale that is just that of that using the new as far as that, the global from it, that was the name and the should say, why do i say? and i'm all of them look at any of this that i as a new sticker flute there, they have to at the sisters to the results, look over the destruction basically for you. and it was more of the more system is just making use of the so what do you mean you produce a bunch more and your students because they don't know they push for commercial that should get you the way it was the
5:47 am
the no, no, no, that's nonsense, we need some fresh ideas. betters stronger and effective. the
5:48 am
oh god, i'm so tired the, the international take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power type vision with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills,
5:49 am
and is it just because it shows very few fractured images presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the russian states never as one of the most sense community? best of all sun set up the same assistance to progress be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on the russians cruising and split the ortiz vote next. even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for what question did you say
5:50 am
a request, which is the, the sometimes we come across was the blower stories that just make us angry there, emblematic of everything that's wrong with the way whistle blowers are treated. today we have that kind of a story. we're going to talk about the airline industry and industry where safety is absolutely paramount. after all, if a plane is unsafe, if it falls out of the sky, god forbid, there's literally nothing that anybody can do about it. passengers are at the mercy of the reliability of the aircraft, the end of the ability of the people operating it and maintaining it. so what happens when a pilot blows the whistle on potential safety violations?
5:51 am
the airline is supposed to investigate. and if necessary, take the plane out of service, maybe even ground, the fleet, change the policy, making the repairs, do everything else necessary to maintain safety and security. but what delta airlines did instead was to go after the whistle blower a john carry onto and welcome to the whistle blowers the . 2 2 2 2 2 today we're going to tell you the story of captain carlene petted. she's a veteran pilot with delta airlines, one of the largest carriers in the world in 2016 carlene raised concerns about potential safety violations at delta. and it almost cost her her career. that's not the way it's supposed to work. as i said in the u. s. department of labor complaint she said. busy after she brought her safety concerns to like that,
5:52 am
she was subjected to psychological exams and a phony diagnosis that had the potential to end. her career and administrative judge sided with her in a december 2020 order. but the airline drag did speed to implement the decision. the complaints that carly made were that delta had falsified training, records had conducted retaliatory line checks. and the airline treated employees unfairly and outside auditor hired by the airline found that the allegations were true. and delta eventually made changes to its policies and its training manuals. but in the meantime, carlene was suspended with pay. a doctor chosen by delta said that she suffered with bipolar disorder, but the airline couldn't fire her because every time she was examined by a psychiatrist, she was deemed to be mentally healthy. there was no bipolar disorder or any other mental health disorder. the airlines goal was to have her declared mentally unfit to fly, so that they could fire her and she couldn't then be hired by another airline. in
5:53 am
the end, carleen was examined by a panel of doctors at the esteemed mayo clinic, as well as by a neutral doctor. they all found that she had no mental health issues whatsoever. in 2022 carlene won a complete and total legal victory. a labor department tribunal award, her $500000.00 in damages, and she now flies a $330.00 between seattle and european destinations. currently petty joins us today . thank you so much for being with us. hi, thank you for having me, john. oh, thank you. and well, wow, is all i can say every article i read about your case made me angrier than the previous one. you conducted your whistle blowing exactly the way we're all trained to do it. you presented a 43 page report with your concerns to to delta pilots, who are also company executives and who are responsible for this kind of information. so walk us through what happened next. you made your revelations and
5:54 am
then what to um. well, was an interesting cuz we learned so much in discovery during through the trial, but we learned that this was a pre meditated plan back in 2015. we're captain james graham, who is now delta c e o, an endeavor there wholly owned subsidiary. he actually had planned it and said he was going to do it if i came forward with my report. and so that was 4 months before they created the pre test for this, we learned that they paid the doctor $74000.00. it took me 3 years to get him in illinois medical the word to take action against him and he forwarded forfeited his medical license. yet the company before on has never been held accountable. the union was not there for me at all. we learned that i learned that the union was actually working with the company and fortunately, and, and many union representatives after the fact, apologize to me and said that they hadn't been there at the time,
5:55 am
but they couldn't do anything anyway. it was quite a battle because from beginning to end, it was over 7 years and yeah, 7 years i was 6 years of litigation. i was told that they did engage in war of attrition. i'm actively trying to change this uh, the air 21 statute, which is the airline was a blur statute because it has the shortest statute limitations only 90 days. i locked out because i knew immediately my union wasn't helping me and i began researching. i didn't know about this and found out and i was able to file and time . it's a key factor. we also were challenged after the judge ordered me $500000.00. the they appealed and the pump where it said, wait a minute, a delta your bad you still is. but they went after the judge why he could award so much because it's all compensatory damages, typically $50000.00. we were headed back to trial to support the order that the
5:56 am
judge and give it. they ordered me to go back to court and we all know that the current was almost more painful than what delta did. i have to tell you a 6 years of trial. so yeah, and we were to posing them and going back and at the end of the day, delta finally came in and said, okay, will you settle? will give you what the judge ordered. we won't take this any further, you don't have to go back to court and we'll give you all your attorney fees, which was huge value to me because typically that's another problem with the law. you only get reasonable attorney fees. typically that's about 90 percent of what you spend. so could you imagine spending 7 years in litigation and receiving $50000.00, but your attorney bills are 1000000 and a half. you. you only get 90 percent of that back so you can't win even if you win . so it's kind of yeah, it was a no brainer to settle. i actually retired on january 31st. i yeah
5:57 am
here's, here's the biggest problem. delta has not changed really changed much of anything. they're still putting pilots on duty for up to 25 hours to as a nose. they are looking the other way. they called it a loophole in a workaround. but when you work around a federal regulations such as fatigue, you're violating safety management systems, which is a risk mitigation tool. so they're look another way. they're still behaving badly and they don't monitor their policies. cuz when adults, as corporate policies are no risk to retaliation, will not be tolerated, it will die and we subject determination and delta has helped nobody accountable in this entire process. all the, all that and did this to me were still there and promoted. and so yeah, and so it was kind of like they went this far and how many millions and attorney fees and they spent, you know, what's next and as a captain,
5:58 am
flying with my fellow pilots, they're going to be going along for the ride. if they're going to come and get me again and what are they going to do next? and, and i just thought that i do not respect his company enough to continue flying for them. the fact that the people who they are they haven't anything, and the problem is the board of directors and new and they're not taking any action . uh, ceo was involved and bastion and he was his name, the number one c e o in their ceo group. so when you're the leader of your company is behaving this way and condoning a retaliation and attacking on a whistleblower. and i also find it very difficult. i'd like to change at work turn whistle blower because i really didn't whistle blowing. anyone. i use my doctoral research in created in the 8 your ethnographic study and, and created this report that would help out. i was trying to help somebody
5:59 am
something i guess if they went out and hired an outside company would have spent, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars to get what i was giving to them for free. and instead of thanking me or it ripping it up and throwing it away and said goodbye, they decided to go on the attack. so let's, let's talk about what you, what you offer them, the kind of information that you offered them. you wrote about falsified training, records, retaliatory line checks, and unfair treatment. can you tell us exactly what that means and what other concerns did you have or? yeah, so the falsifying records training is a huge is a huge issue. and what they were doing is we're required to give an oral, to assess the level of understanding. and that actually is the biggest uh, when the most important aspects and why airplanes crash, why we're having incidents is lack of level of understanding. will delta's pencil webbing? it, they're not giving the orals to the pilots. and they're just putting the grades in there. and then we have a written test wherever we're required to, to give you a book to memorize. and so they give you the answers,
6:00 am
you go and take the test of true, you know, a, b, c, d, answer the test. so i explained in my paper that some training philosophies and right how to train better um safety management system, which is the big buzz word for everybody right now. it's supposed to be the end all guest, and it really is nothing because you have to have a, a positive safety culture. so the entire report was actually the importance of safety. culture is a foundation for s m s. and under every category of adjust culture, a reporting culture, and a learning culture, what i did is i included these cultures. and then i went ahead and i went ahead and explained what we were doing. here's an example. here's how you fix it. here's how you solve the problem and i.
