SEATTLE — United Airlines has settled a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former pilot who said she found pornography in airplane cockpits.

Details of the settlement with former Captain Lisa Stout have been sealed. The Seattle Times reports today that the two-year-old case was settled this month, weeks before it was set to go to trial in U.S. District Court in Seattle.

Stout grounded herself and eventually left United after saying she found porn hidden in the flight deck on United's domestic flights.

Before the settlement, Judge John C. Coughenour rejected United's arguments to have the case dismissed. The judge also ruled that Stout could seek punitive damages if the case went to trial. HIDDEN PORN. How in the hell is this sexual harassment? She just wants to get a fat check from her ex-employer so she doesn't have to work. Nobody forced her to watch porn. Nobody even sexually harassed her.

The only thing United Airlines should do is pay for someone to remove the stick from her ass. If an adult freaks out over finding porn they need to grow the hell up. Put the porn in a trash can if you don't like it. Problem solved.

From the non-discolsure I assume she got enough money to retire.

According to her lawsuit, she developed a "severe condition" that required her to take medication and, ultimately, ground herself in August 2005. The judge either sealed or redacted the details of Stout's medical condition from otherwise public documents.

United argued that Stout could not have been offended by the sexually explicit photos because she once worked in a retail store that sold pornographic magazines, she sometimes sketched nudes as an artist and she had attended art shows displaying photos of nude women. ... ... ...

Not fine the people who file stupid claims, refuse stupid claims to be processed is much better.

**Diondra** · 03-24-2009, 03:53 AM

Yeh, fining idiots for filing stupid lawsuits is just as bad as them filing it in the first place!

Tell 'em to f*** off!

That'll work....

Until they file a lawsuit for some kind of prejudice claim.

Oh the horror.....

I'm embarrassed to share the same human gene pool with these people.

HIDDEN PORN. How in the hell is this sexual harassment?

I suppose it could be considered sexual harassment if she notified a supervisor that she was indeed offended and nothing was done to rectify the situation. It seems stupid though.

How about all of the people who sue their OB when their kid pops out ugly and/or stupid after (pick from the following actions during pregnancy):

a. drank alcohol
b. smoked
c. did drugs
d. didn't eat properly
d. already had a "genetic pre-disposition towards suboptimal performance"
e. Any and/or All of the above

And what's worse is the parents have the option to sue until their kid turns 18, and then the kid has another 3 years to pursue litigation!

That's bullshit as well. Any time the kid pops out abnormal they want to sue whoever delivered it rather than accepting the fact that the baby wasn't perfect before it was born.

I have quite a few clients that are legal practices... sadly ones who are willing to be discretionary about what cases they take are few and far between, since most of them are out to only make a buck.

**BoomBully** · 03-25-2009, 02:59 AM

How about we just take them in the middle of the street and slap them around for wasting everyone's time?
