Airline owes $200,000 in damages after demoting, ‘humiliating’ employee

“The plaintiff was an exceptionally vulnerable employee... He was 68 years of age, with limited work opportunities. He accepted humiliating demotions, a substantial loss of pay, and endured multiple episodes of insulting and unfair discipline, in a desperate effort to retain [his] job… [He] was made to suffer pointlessly, since [the employer] wanted to terminate his employment all along.”
