"He (PM) felt his punishment was more “drastic” compared with treatment to his First Officer Kevin Davenport, who was with him in the cockpit on the 2007 flight. He said: “The most dramatic, drastic possible action has been taken against me. I contest absolutely no action has been taken against my First Officer.”
So Captain Mason decided to let a passenger into the flightdeck, in clear contravention of the rules on flightdeck access, and thereby putting his FO in the unenviable position of either acquiescing in the rule-breaking, or arguing with his commander in-flight. And then he defends himself by claiming that no subsequent action was taken against his FO? Charming.
As an FO myself, I'm mightily relieved that there are fewer and fewer 'Pablos' out there.
