This proceeding arises from a claim under the whistleblower protection provisions of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century ("AIR 21"), 49 U.S.C. § 42121. The statute and the implementing regulations at 29 C.F.R. Part 1979 prohibit discrimination against airline employees for engaging in protected activity. In this case, Shane Sitts ("Sitts" or "Complainant") filed a complaint against Comair, Inc. ("Comair" or "Respondent"). Complainant alleges that Respondent terminated him after he refused to fly an assigned flight on November 12, 2007 for safety reasons.
