A former top safety inspector for the Federal Aviation Administration in Seattle who complained bitterly about being thwarted by her own bosses while trying to enforce air-safety standards at Alaska Airlines has filed a discrimination lawsuit in federal court.
Mary Rose Diefenderfer alleges that sex discrimination and retaliation for whistle-blower activities forced her to leave the agency in 1999. Her various claims through agency merit boards, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and federal appeals courts took 11 years to resolve before she could file the federal civil lawsuit against the FAA in U.S. District Court in Seattle.
