A former WestJet flight attendant is suing the airline for allegedly failing to protect her from a pilot who ***ually assaulted her — and for firing her while protecting him.
Mandalena Lewis alleges (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/former-flight-attendant-suing-westjet-over-alleged-***ual-assault-by-pilot/article29006732/) that on a layover in Maui, the flight crew had been having drinks in the pilot's hotel room.

He then threw her on the bed, kissed her and groped her between the legs before she was able to push him away and leave the room, she says.
