Jeez, some have done a lot to destroy the image of the cool, unflappable airline pilot. Not likely you’ll be invited to work in the PR department after you retire.
Rainboe you say there was no incident. Those in the profession use the word “incident” in a special way but the rest of the ignorant world (according to you) uses “incident” to talk about something that happened, which is the case here.As for the fact that the crew flew the last leg with him, it could just mean they didn’t want to upset the passengers even more with another delay, and with two FOs to wrestle this Captain to the ground if his attitude affected his airmanship, maybe they felt safe enough to get on with the day.

Even though there won’t be an official report, someone will probably leak whether this guy is working a few weeks down the road. (Especially, if rumours are true-this is a rumour network- that he wasn’t the most popular dude and insisted that the FO’s called him “Sir” even on the layover.)Then we’ll know whose been betting on the wrong horse.
