Al446,
I think you'll find that LAX is not from LA, anymore than he is 97 years old ! (as stated on his profile) Current 737 NG driver for RYR I expect. Can't say I blame people (especially those who work for RYR) for not putting their real location (or age) in their profile ......
And DFC, you're really not listening are you ? (or don't want to !)
The Captain concerned was dismissed on flight safety grounds (as others on here have also confirmed, on the basis that his discussion with the cabin crew impacted their ability to carry out their duties. This has been clearly stated in the company's memo. They are just trying to shore up their case for the subsequent legal proceedings that will certainly ensue.
