That's true. What outcome is ideal depends on the priors, I suppose. If the company not listening to Lochridge is a given, then being fired is better than not

That's true. What outcome is ideal depends on the priors, I suppose. If the company not listening to Lochridge is a given, then being fired is better than not, and having to go down on the sub. The company listening to Lochridge is better than the company not listening to Lochridge. The company putting safety first and engineering something that met Lochridge's standards from the outset is better than the company listening to Lochridge when he brought up problems. And so on.
