Lawsuit Says She Was Fired Days After Reporting Safety Concerns Kimberly Duffy (plaintiff) has filed a lawsuit in U. S. District Court in Connecticut alleging she was fired by the airline in retaliation for reporting safety concerns. “On multiple occasions during Plaintiff’s employment with Avelo, Ms. Duffy opposed conduct which had the potential to compromise flight safety. Then, on February 20, 2025, Ms. Duffy filed a formal written safety report documenting serious Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) regulatory violations by a male captain at Avelo, and that complaint required disclosure to the FAA. On February 22, 2025, Ms. Duffy submitted safety concerns to Avelo regarding another male captain. Days later, on February 27, 2025, Avelo terminated Ms. Duffy’s employment in an act of retaliation and discrimination,” the lawsuit says.
