NYPD pilots say allegedly unsafe boss discriminated against them in favor of black pals: NYC suit
Story by Tina Moore • 1h
Three well-qualified NYPD pilots, including one who trained military Blackhawk fliers, claim they were benched by the allegedly corrupt and unqualified boss of the Aviation Unit — who put his black cronies ahead of them.
Pilots Joseph Medina, Vlad Ravich and David Ebrigt are suing former unit boss Winston Faison, along with the city, in Manhattan Supreme Court for unspecified damages, alleging they were retaliated against for reporting safety issues and lost promotions and benefits because of the discrimination.
Army National Guardsman Medina, 39, returned from deployment in the Middle East from 2021-2023 to find that Faison had removed him from a promotions list and replaced him with a less experienced black pilot, according to court documents.
