Former Southwest Airlines employee, DJ Kelly, has filed a federal lawsuit in Arizona alleging that the airline ignored years of sexual harassment complaints and then fired him after he submitted a formal written complaint. The lawsuit alleges that a co-worker subjected Kelly to unwanted touching, sexually explicit comments and repeated harassment over several years.
