No company fires a pilot without very good reasons and being VERY sure of it's legal rights.
Negative.
In PM´s case there are reasons and I´m sure he won´t win. I supported him in the first thread, but even if it was the solicitors idea (which I´m convinced it was) to bring the F/O into the game, I hate people that don´t stand for their faults and mistakes. If I´d be PM I`d try everything to get my job back, but definately NOT on somebody elses cost.
Nonwithstanding, the cockpit rules (and many others) are stupid to stay polite. Especially on a full private charter.
