well based on the comments on this story they should just work as a full time poster on HN, not reading the story by automatically knee jerk responding how vile the company is.
this story comes down to a contract dispute, the pilot signed an agreement as part of being given training and if the company is guilty of anything it is guilty of letting it go for this many years.
