AJ...
Let me start by saying to you, and all others who have posted, I am not condoning the descision of the CEO, but...
1. Like it or lump it, for the last 10 years, there has been no such thing as "in" or "out" of work, you MUST by law (yes, by law - EU directive) act in a profesional manner while dealing with colleauges in or out of the workplace.
2. Recent Posting - AerLingus Groper
Should this man be "let off" for groping a female colleauge? after all, it wasnt done "at work".
3. Would you, as a senior captain,allow a F/O /junior/ steward(ess) poke fun at you in front of other crew members?
Obviously, there was tension between these two men long before this incident, whatever this was, the captain should never have allowed his anger to spill out in such a way.
Or, the captain was merely childish and having a little fun at the expense of the CEO, not a very clever thing to do.
