His license should have been torn up after the first un-deniable cockup. Thank god this guy wasn't flying passengers, only his unlucky colleagues. Ultimately, the airline here sounds responsible, allowing this plonker to sit in the cockpit of their nice aircraft.
Constructively, ATC were trying to help, perhaps they could be more clear and calculate the tailwind component and press their concerns by matter of factly asking again, 'are you sure you want to land with a 21kt tailwind?'
