I agree it was not an action covered in glory, for which he has paid a heavy price. In my opinion too heavy, because I am sure in different circumstances he would still be employed.

However, in the current climate at the world's favourite, I imagine that if any cabin crew employee crosses that imaginary line (that is always moving) and especially a union rep, then the full force of the disciplinary process will be actioned. So why give the employer reason?
