This presentation summarizes a case involving an airline mechanic who noted issues with an aircraft part and ordered a replacement. His supervisor directed him to repair the old part instead of replacing it, against regulations. The mechanic chose to contact his union for advice. The airline fired the mechanic, but the union supported him in taking the case to court. The presentation analyzes the choices available to the mechanic and discusses that the focus is on the airline defending its right to violate regulations and fire employees, not the outcome of the resulting litigation.
