Even the least pressuring companies do not want to employ pilots who are only there to avoid actually working

I also previously won air 21 case against an EMS providor over being terminated for refusing to fly an aircraft that had sustained damage. The operator was refusing to allow it to be documented in the discrepancy log, and be properly cleared by maintenance. After I won my case, I refused the reinstatement. But I received my lost wages and in my case the FAA did take certificate action against the company for having already flown 3 legs, 2 with the Chief Pilot's approval and 1 with a patient on board. Could of easily been avoided had the company just did the right thing. That company went on to kill a few people in a pretty short span and they no longer operate helicopters. Another way to avoid it would of not hired a complete moron who had not flown in many years, and still thought he was behind enemy lines and his completion of the flight my potentially result in an air medal. He was the one that damaged the aircraft, and then proceeded to fly it.

So I'm a pilot at Metro and happen to know all the in's n out's about this particular situation.  The court dates and actual case are all yet still to come, and this article is pretty premature as nothing's close to being finalized for a while.  But I can tell you after reading it that the story definetly leans bias for the pilot and against Metro, which is in reality far the ACTUAL truth and events.  Metro's only fault in the situation absolutly was wrongful termination with this pilot and will lose that case every day in court.  But the storie's pushing that Metro pressured him to fly in bad wx etc is completely bogus and this article doesn't do what really happened too much justice, so take from it what you will.

it when an operator gets a lashing considering all the chrapppp they push towards workers in the field actually generating the company income.
