Semantics.
DT is not the DFO nor, as I clearly understand it, was he the supposed target. He was however on the receiving end of launch but not the apology. As he is the CEO, I would feel he has every right to be upset. That the DFO was unable to fix this situation is all the more sad.
The last thing I would call DT is a pathological pilot hater. If our ex-colleague had gone upstairs the following morning he would still be shouting in the gay bar.
The fact that 50% of the new commanders choose not to avail themselves of the one-on-one meeting with him would tell me that more than a few are pathological management haters.
FWIW.
