Would you get fired from your airline?

If you were the captain and this happened to you, what would be the consequences for you personally?

I know incorrect loading of take-off speeds into the FM(G)C has occured on several occasions within my company, however the most severe outcome was a tailscrape of less severity than SQ at AKL.
I also know that the crew involved kept their positions and that the cases were made available to the rest of us as a way to avoid similar encounters in the future. Ofcourse, they were all debriefed by management pilots but for other reasons than to allocate blame.

I was hoping this would be the response from most managements in the "civilized" aviation world...
