I don?t know which one is better,
- leave a/c and just go home and let the poor pax to fly with an other captain in same plane
- let the pax know what is going on and than leave the a/c, give people a chance to make decision about their life,
Even you pay it with your job?
I think he did the great job before he leave the plane and it`s also shows how professional he is.
Regards?
