As a bean-counter I think the above is rubbish. Who said the bean-counter fired the captain.
You are right of course. The bean counter didn’t actually execute the firing of the skipper. But:
Any business needs to decide on its objectives and how it will fulfill them. It has to make choices and it will decide a set of policies to follow in order to help the decision-making process so that everybody knows which way to go.
The BC will tell the management that the return of the flight to Paris, lose of rev. lose of image, initial maintenance, ferry flight to Djerba, further maintenance, a/c downtime and repositioning to the line will cost so-and-so many kUSD. And its all the captains fault. All of this is obviously not in keeping with the objectives set by the business.
