About 18 months ago, a Jetstar staffer told her employer she was being abused.
The alleged perpetrator – Grant Johns – was her partner. He also worked for the company as a pilot.
When she told them about the alleged abuse, they banned her from attending the office.
She needed time off work to recover from physical and psychological injury.
She was sacked a few weeks ago after returning to work.
Johns, though, was flying planes until last mid-April of 2025. He’s now been stood down but remains employed at the company.
He fronted court recently – a media outlet got hold of the story. I suspect this is the only reason he’s been grounded.
Johns is charged with assault and recklessly cause injury. He will face court soon. He is still on social media and may be on dating apps.

The victim is now suing the company for adverse action.
When women who work with their abusers tell employers what is going on, they’re the ones who are almost always sacked.
I’ve seen this happen across a range of industries, including the police force.
The victim is often forced to find a new home, pay for the physical and psychological health care she needs and re-start every aspect of her life.
It’s just another example of how far we are from ending domestic violence and male violence and the societal structures that allow it to thrive.
