During the investigation interviews take place, reports read, witnesses accounts taken into consideration. Eventually a conclusion reached. What I cannot understand is why this suspension period would be without pay when the only factual evidence at that stage is that some idiot caused a ridiculous situation on board for the crew to deal with.
There is a big difference between not having a member of staff work in a particular area vs suspending them
When suspended, then I wouldn't expect the person to be paid during that time unless the investigation into the incident leading to the suspension was to exonerate the person , at which point would expect the suspension to be annulled and the person be backpaid for the suspension period
