Sara, any man who says a woman was leading him on is a neanderthal. Remember... you cannot negotiate with terrorists or two-year olds, so the best thing to do is step back as you did. I know the details of this case, and everything you wrote was spot on. Honestly, if women are crazy for speaking out and saying "No more" ... then we need more crazy in the world to do just that! Women speak up and speak out!! I am saddened by the women who look the other way and are naive to say, "it hasn't happened to me so it cannot be happening"... I am the first to say, because you were not raped, doesn't mean that doesn't happen. Of course it does. Sadly, and in some cases, the women want to fit in so badly with the guys, they do anything to become one of the boys. Here's what I know to be true... the pilots I worked with were wonderful and were never abusive or otherwise. But I know management pilots who have been sexually abusive with the women whether it's talk, pounding on doors, or being married and sleeping with the pilots and flight attendants. The culture is a free for all because Delta management does not respect women and that sets a tone. Thank God most of the pilots do not have those same values. All it takes is one or two bad apples. . I was told that SVP, James Graham, "hates three types of pilots more than anything: 1) Female, 2) Northwest 3) anyone telling him what to do." So a female pilot who has a brain and a voice is on the hit list. This is coming from a current CEO. I'm proud of what you are doing, bringing this to light. Thank you! Keep up the good work and Flick off those who cannot speak intelligently. Stay strong.

Just one more thing about sexual harassment being the woman's fault. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO-HI1hGcpM

It's so ugly. The damage this being wrought while on earth is incalculable. That is a fact. So, so many people were complicit in letting this go on. it's heartbreaking.

All those poor people who died. Tragic and so unnecessary. He was a dirty little pervert. I would have loved to have confronted him NOW. I know what you were Molin. We all do. I am just so angry at the moment, so I won’t write anymore, before I go and cool down.
