The bit I find most objectionable is this:
"a co pilot had reported the pilot for allowing fueling to take place while passengers were deboarding"
And I believe that is what cranked
Rainboe up too. Surely the co-pilot could have had a few quiet words with the Captain rather than running to the office? If the co-pilot was wrong he has now labelled himself throughout the company and if he was right, well, same end result really?
