Southwest Airlines pays $35,000 to settle mechanic's - whistleblower' case

Southwest Airlines and a Southwest mechanic have settled a "whistleblower" case in which the mechanic said the airline threatened to punish him for reporting fuselage cracks that grounded a Southwest airplane. Southwest on Jan. 16 agreed to pay $35,000 in attorney's fees and expenses for mechanic Charles Hall, who discovered the cracks as he was doing a maintenance inspection on a Boeing 737-700 last July.
