point one:
the event I described happened about 12 years before the FOQA program began.
second...a training captain who disobeys the SOP shouldn't be teaching anyone how to fly.
And it wasn't a ferry flight...it was loaded with passengers who should have the right to not be aboard a non routine flight.
Harsh? Emotional? yes...But I would bet money it wouldn't happen again and others would straighten up and fly right.
