How many times does it have to be said. He broke the rules on numerous occasions, was disciplined on each and eventually wrote his own dismissal. It is not a question of punishment fitting the crime but just reality fitting Pablo.
I have flown with him and work in the same company as him. He knew he was on thin ice at 2 warnings. Enough said.
If you work for any company, aviation related OR NOT. Read your disciplinary procedure. It will be clearly laid out what the procedure is. If you break it, then expect to be asked not to come in on monday. Period.
It has SOD all to do with letting someone on the flight deck and everything to do with following company policy and caa legalities. If you cannot follow that then expect a p45.
Does NOBODY on these forums read the early posts on long threads anymore. I posted ages ago about Pablo. Great in a bar, nightmare to fly with and on his last warning. He KNEW what he was doing but as always thought himself untouchable. Even the RAF have rules, and he managed to break quite a few of those.
If that means that the people flying you are all grey and dull, then so be it. Those of us behind our locked door know different, and to be quite frank,are thankful for the gainful employment and excellent quality of life that we enjoy!!!!!!
