Cathay Pilot sacked
Capt Wilkinson may have shown poor judgement in conducting an unauthorised low level flypast at Everett, however it seems he really has been made a "scapegoat" in the most extreme manner. Although his actions may have been ill-considered they hardly set any sort of precedent.
As long as aircraft have been flown pilots have "beaten up" airfields. Demotion would seem a more appropriate penalty.
